ABOUT

Phantom Power (was: Phantomphonts) [Stefan Claudius]

German type designer Stefan Claudius (b. 1971, Essen) studied in Wuppertal and Essen (industrial design) and became an independent graphic designer in 2000. He runs Phantom Power and co-founded Cape Arcona (in 2002, with Thomas Schostok).

In 2021, he designed CA Edwald (a 10-style serif in the Cooper Black and Windsor genre; with Thomas Schostok), CA Slalom Compressed, CA Slalom Condensed, and CA Slalom (an all-purpose 12-style grotesk for Latin and Cyrillic).

In 2020, he released CA Mechano (an octagonal mechanical typeface family).

Typefaces from 2019: CA Saygon Text (a grotesque family) and CA Saygon (with Thomas Schostok: a formidable experimental sans that evokes an internal clash between 90-degree angles and smooth arcs).
