sans-serifhumanist sansitalic
Altis specimen from Typolar

An airy, optimistic humanist sans with a large x-height and a long record as a brand typeface.

About

Altis comes from the British humanist sanserifs that appeared just before 1920, given a more personal, modern treatment for apps and the web. The large x-height keeps it readable small, and the italics are drawn as their own designs rather than slanted romans. Twenty styles in ten weights, Hairline to Black.

Classification

A humanist sans in the line of the British humanist sanserifs of around 1920, with a large x-height and true italics that use different letterforms from the romans.
