Alfold Family

Alfold is a serif type family drawing its name and inspiration from Alfold, a magazine published in Subotica in 1936. What began as a typographic reference point became the foundation for a thoroughly modern family, built for use across web and interface design, editorial layouts, and more experimental contexts. The complete Alfold family comprises three subfamilies (Upright, Semi-Mono, and Mono) each sharing a toned-down, neutral character while serving distinct design purposes.

Upright is the workhorse of the family, characterized by tight spacing, flared terminals, flat serifs with rectangular connectors, and proportional characters. Semi-Mono sits between the other two, blending balanced proportions with mono-influenced spacing, defying easy classification while finding its character in long-form text, logos, wordmarks, and headlines alike. Mono is the display counterpart, designed for experimental scenarios where the monospaced aesthetic becomes a deliberate stylistic choice, while retaining the overall look of the family and full fixed-width functionality.

All three subfamilies are available in 9 styles from Thin to Black, include a variable font, and feature a 560+ character set with OpenType features including stylistic alternates, fractions, case-sensitive forms, and more.
