Alio™ Text – a Workhorse Typeface
Alio Text not only looks great as a display type, but also has been optimized for the high legibility and readability at small sizes. The Text family features taller x-height, wider letter spacing and more pronounced accents than the Pros. We also cut down from 6 weights/12 styles to 4 weights/8 styles to maximize the weight contrasts in small type.
Alio Text has you covered with case-sensitive punctuations, whether your designs call for all caps, title case, sentence case, or all lowercase. Say goodbye to manually adjusting the baseline shift on your punctuation marks.
Alio Text packs robust OpenType features, many of which are shared with its siblings, Alio Pro. For example, both families are equipped to recognize fractions versus dates. Additionally, both feature several alternate legal symbol positions (three in Alio Text; five in Alio Pro).
