Alfon
Terminal Design · James Montalbano
serifchamfered modern serifitalic
A muscular serif with chamfered corners and cupped serifs, built to read well as text and show personality at large sizes.
About
Alfon takes the sturdy, blunt character of Montalbano's sans-serif Giacomo and rebuilds it in serif form, with chamfered corners and cupped serif ends adding bite at display sizes. Four weights from Regular to Heavy each carry a loose, slightly funky italic. It works as a readable text face while keeping enough edge for headlines.
Classification
Cupped serifs and chamfered corners put Alfon in serif territory despite its blunt, sturdy forms. Montalbano pitches it as the serif counterpart to his sans-serif Giacomo, so the given brief's Sans label has been corrected here.
