Aldero™ Font Features & Specimen

Aldero™ Grotesque Sans Serif – Font Features Overview

Aldero™ strives to be as useful to any design environment as Alder trees are to the forest. Native to British Columbia, Canada, Alder is vital to the woods all year round. Wildlife and insects feed on Alder leaves and seeds. The tree also provides shelter for animals in winter while its shades keep streams from getting too hot in summer. The trunks and branches are excellent habitats for lichens and mosses. The nitrogen-rich leaves help fertilize the soil where they landed, which benefits other tree species nearby. Alder’s utilitarian nature inspires us to create Aldero™, a handy, versatile, go-to type family for all professional designers.

To achieve what we set out to do, we gave Aldero the two-in-one looks, doubled the sets of ligatures, and loaded it with plenty more Opentype features. We put in long hours, months after months, until we are proud of the outcome. And we truly believe you will enjoy working with this Canadian typeface as much as we do.

Aldero™ Fonts – Double the Looks. Double the Design Possibilities.

With five weights, ten styles and 1,100+ glyphs per style, this versatile typeface comes with virtually two looks. The standard glyph set is perfect for formal, corporate design, while the stylistic alternate set elicits a fun, friendly, and casual feel. You can use each style separately or mix and match them to achieve your design aesthetic. Thanks to these options, a wide range of design possibilities are at your fingertips.

We pay attention to even small details of each characters that you may not notice at first glance.

Aldero™ also comes with two large sets of ligatures for both the standard glyph and the stylistic sets for you to experiment with.

On top of that, we also pack tons of Opentype features into Aldero to improve your user experience while working with this typeface. To activate the case-sensitive features, highlight the phrase with the type tool, then hit the “All Caps” button. Or highlight each marks, punctuations, or symbols with the type tool, then choose the case-sensitive option from the Opentype popup window.

We Crafted Even Small Details Like Bullets and Superscripts.

Aldero™ comes with 9 bullet options and their case-sensitive alternates. It also features multiple stylistic alternates for marks and symbols so you can streamline your workflow. Our alternated marks and symbols are designed to match their font weight visually. No more skinny superscripts that don’t go with the rest of the type. To choose a stylistic alternate, highlight the glyph with the type tool, then choose one of the options from the Opentype popup window.

Tabular Figures that Work Across the Board.

Aldero™ offers two sets of tabular figures, the Linings and the Oldstyles. These figures will perfectly line up across the weight and, in fact, even across the figure sets.
