ALT Ricalco specimen from ALT.tf

A typewriter-inspired slab in three stylistic variants – Slab, Semi and Sans – built around deliberately minimal kerning that replicates the fixed-pitch cadence of a classic mechanical typewriter.

About

Drawing on the mechanical systems of the typewriter and the graphic identity of Olivetti, ALT Ricalco turns the constraint of minimal kerning into its core visual logic. The result is a precise, energetic rhythm that reads as deliberate rather than deficient. Three style variants – Slab, Semi and Sans – share this underlying character while offering range from full serif to stripped-back forms, with coverage across Latin Extended A and Greek scripts.

Classification

Slab serif typeface with three style variants (Slab, Semi, Sans) inspired by typewriter mechanics; the deliberate monospaced-style minimal kerning and mechanical rhythm place it firmly in the typewriter-slab tradition.
