Alio™ Text – a Workhorse Typeface

Alio Text does not only look great as a display type, but also it 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.
