About

Altotype is a bold, heavily rounded display typeface designed for headline and identity work. It ships with 183 glyphs including A–Z, numerals and basic symbols, plus multiple alternates per letter to give designers variation without switching fonts. There is one weight and no italic or condensed cut; the appeal is the consistency of the rounded forms and the flexibility the alternates provide.

Classification

Single-weight rounded display typeface with heavy, uniform curves throughout. Features multiple glyph alternates per letter rather than optical size or weight variation. Closest to a geometric display with exaggerated roundness — sits in display rather than sans-serif because it is decorative-first.
