About
Contralto pairs soft, humanist letterforms with sharp geometric detailing across five weights and four optical sizes, giving 40 styles in total with matching italics. The optical-size range lets it move between display headlines and closer text settings without losing its contrast. A broad OpenType feature set covers stylistic alternates, fractions and case-sensitive forms.
Classification
The combination of pronounced thick-thin contrast with sans-serif letterforms is unusual enough to warrant its own high-contrast sans subcategory, distinct from standard grotesques.
