About
Alvida Fatface takes its cues from the high-contrast fat face types that dominated advertising print in the 1800s, balancing ultra-bold strokes against hairline thins. The single Regular style is supported by a broad multilingual Latin character set covering Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Baltic, Turkish and Romanian. OpenType features include contextual alternates, fractions and case-sensitive forms.
Classification
