Typeface Design for Tesla Caps
Three contrast registers in one caps-only slab
Tesla Caps is a capitals-only titling slab serif designed by Nikola Djurek at Typotheque, released in 2015. It offers three contrast variants — monolinear, slightly inverted, and fully reversed-contrast — intended for headlines and titles. The family sits within the broader Tesla type system alongside Slab, Stencil, and Monospaced subfamilies, designed to be used together.
