CA Telecopy: The glitch font family
Forget flawless fonts, CA Telecopy celebrates the glorious imperfections of the early 90s! Remember the chunky pixels and gloriously distorted characters that spewed out of fax machines and low-resolution monitors? CA Telecopy captures that retro charm, glitches and all.
We’ve flipped the script on “bad hints” and unclean type and turned it into a statement piece. This typeface isn’t afraid to be “wrong,” it revels in the digital mistakes that defined the era. Imagine text on a vintage CRT monitor, where imperfections became a unique aesthetic.
CA Telecopy’s pixelated style injects a dose of early Internet nostalgia. Each character is a nod to the golden age of glitch art, where visual anomalies and artifacts were celebrated for their raw visual impact. The design process? We meticulously crafted the “wrong” and the “flawed” to create a typeface that embraces its digital quirks.
Need versatility? CA Telecopy delivers. It comes in light, regular, medium, and bold weights with three different levels of bad pixels. Plus, its expansive character set is ready for any design challenge, whether you’re working in print or on the web.
Three different quality levels give you simulated pixel heights of 40, 24 and 15 — Telecopy A, B and C.
CA Telecopy is the perfect tool for adding a touch of nostalgic digital chaos to your designs. Let your projects revel in intentional degradation and rediscover the beauty of imperfection. With every pixelated edge and glitch, CA Telecopy tells a story of the early 90s, a time when the digital revolution was just beginning.
