What it does
Capitalics publishes retail font families and offers custom fonts, modifications, lettering, logo refinement and typography audits. Its catalog also includes free releases such as Brygada 1918 and Półtawski Nowy under open font licences.
Capitalics separates three useful starting points for a brand project: an audit of the typography already in use, modifications to an existing retail family, or a newly drawn custom font. The service pages describe different sequences for these jobs, from recommendations after an audit to testing and engineering a bespoke design.
The retail pages help make that brief concrete. Quartet Sans has an editable specimen with style, size and tracking controls, followed by family and individual-style purchase options. Test fonts are accessed from the account Dashboard and have a limited character set for evaluation.
For a free production option, Brygada 1918 and Półtawski Nowy each list six styles under an open font licence. Their download buttons require logging in; these are distinct from restricted trial files. Paid fonts use separate permissions for desktop, web, apps and other uses. There is also a Canva licence for an organisation’s own workspace, with extra coverage needed for editable templates or font access shared with outside parties.
