Albert specimen from Monkey Type

A wide geometric grotesque that takes Eurostile's confident proportions as its starting point, then softens the angles into something more curvaceous across nine weights with matching italics.

About

Albert is an extended geometric grotesque built on Eurostile's wide, assertive proportions, reworked with softer curves and a more forward-looking character. Nine weights from Thin to Black each come with a matching italic, giving the family genuine range across display, branding and headline work. Its width is the defining trait: this is a typeface designed to occupy space rather than slip into it.

Classification

Extended geometric grotesque with retro-futurist character. Wide, chunky letterforms draw on Eurostile's proportions but are reworked with softer, more curvaceous contours. 18 styles across nine weights (Thin to Black) each with a companion italic. Basic Latin coverage only.
