Albiona Soft FONT Download
Designer: Rian Hughes
Publisher: Device
A rounded version of Albiona, a contemporary slab-serif which revisits aspects of Robert Besley's classic Clarendon. Originally named after the Clarendon Press in Oxford, the type family was subsequently extended by Stephenson Blake in the 1950s.
Albiona adds the inwardly-curved stroke terminals of the same foundry's Grotesque series, and includes italics and old-style and tabular numerals. The original Clarendon's ball serifs and calligraphic eccentricities have been rationalised for functional contemporary uses. The family consists of five weights plus italics and a stencil, and its clean readable style is perfect for both extended text as well as headline setting.
