About Capelin
What we like about Capelin is how little it tries to be everything — it does antique display font, and that is the job we wanted filled on the Display and Poster Fonts shelf. grifvixcolor is the name on the listing. Only 1 person has saved it so far, so this is our pick rather than the crowd's. The listing shows 5.0 out of 5 on 1 review, which is better evidence than the thumbnail.
Check the capitals and the spacing between them — display type lives or dies on how a short word in caps sits together. We keep it filed mentally under blackletter display font, which is the use that needs the least adjusting afterwards. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every font on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.
The words on the listing are chiseled gothic typeface, craft project font, craft stencil font and craft svg font, and they are worth reading as a description rather than as tags. The neighbouring searches are poster, headline, vintage, retro and slab — worth a look if this particular font is close but not quite it. The searches that bring people to this shelf are vintage fonts commercial license, display fonts, vintage fonts canva, number fonts vintage and retro canva fonts — this one sits in the middle of that group rather than off to the side of it. It is shelved with the rest of the display and poster fonts, and that is the quickest way to see what else sits in the same register before you settle on this one.

How to use this font
- Download the font from Creative Fabrica and unzip it — you normally get OTF and TTF of the same face, plus a licence file.
- Install the OTF if your software gives you the choice: it carries the alternates and ligatures that make a script face look handwritten.
- Restart the app you design in — Canva, Photoshop, Cricut Design Space and Word all read the font list once, at launch.
- Read the licence before a paid job: personal and commercial use are priced apart, and a logo often needs the extended one.
