About American Captain Font Family


American Captain is as a 6-font family with complete character sets and language support for Central European characters, Cyrillic, Greek and Hebrew. OpenType features include: small caps, fractions, stylistic sets, glyph replacements, etc. So here we go with the descriptions again. To describe my new font, American Captain, the boring part of my brain tells me to use staid words like narrow and bold, sharp yet blunt, heavy and tall; but deep within the creative side of my brain, there’s a smouldering nugget of inspiration that tells me this font deserves something more. Why bother to explain things you can clearly see with your own eyes, when what you might not be aware of is this font’s unique origins. What you might not know is that it dates back to at least the 1940s. It’s even possible you don't understand how this font has been reborn and revamped and revitalized by generations of sign-painters and hand-letterers and determined font guys like myself who just can't let this thing go. This font represents the unparalleled strength of one man who saved an entire world from the crushing yoke of tyranny. This man was an outstanding captain of men, an American patriot of unquestionable calibre. And within this font is captured his fighting spirit, his unyielding determination. This face is dedicated to him, the captain America knows and respects, the captain American font designers like myself strive to symbolize in their work. So enjoy the power that is the font I call, American Captain.

About The Fontry

When foundry's were making steel and fonts were but a molten dream ... well, we don't go that far back! But that's how we came up with the name for The Fontry. Spun into existence in 1992 by James L. Stirling and Michael Gene Adkins, The Fontry owes its origins to lots and lots of years working around screenprint shops and the signmaking business, influences that translate clearly into our font designs. It stands to reason then that many of our typographic efforts reflect the needs of those industries. Not ones to wimp around with frilly type, many of our fonts exude the strength you've come to expect from any font that dares to call itself a display face. No typesetting lots of tiny text with any of our fonts! And our inspiration covers the gamut, from full-on customs to period revivals. But no matter the origins, we pride ourselves on taking care of the details, from the nudge-fussiest node positioning to the single-digit kerning adjustments. Every Fontry font has over 40 hours of work in it, and we like to think it shows. At least we hope it shows--really! So for fonts that really fill the space, we're the foundry guys you wanna try!
