Designed by Thomas Thiemich, Alto is a no-nonsense typeface that avoids quirky details in favour of down-to-earth usability. Its neutral design is well attuned to daily design needs, suitable for a broad spectrum of subject matter and functions.

With an impressive nine weights, Alto joins a group of contemporary humanist sans serifs notable for their large font families, such as those by Erik Spiekermann and Luc(as) de Groot. Alto is also built around four widths, making it OurType’s largest sans serif family to date.

Alto Pro includes small caps; lining, old style and small cap figures (each in tabular and proportional widths); fractions; comprehensive superiors, inferiors, nominators and denominators; case sensitive punctuation sets; mathematical and monetary symbols; arrows; standard and discretionary ligatures; and support for all (Latin script based) Western, Central and East European languages.
