A revival of sign-painted lettering sourced from a 1915 Atkinson lettering book, with deliberate imperfections retained to preserve its hand-made character.
About
Drawn from early twentieth-century American sign-painting tradition, Alosta balances the irregularities of its source material while keeping enough rough humanity to distinguish it from sterile corporate sans-serifs. The design is the seventh release from Damn Type Co and carries a clear personality rooted in vernacular lettering. A single desktop licence covers personal and commercial use across print and digital.
Classification
