Aldermann Type

Specimen · the conventional one

A waterfall tells you almost nothing.

Here it is anyway, because a foundry without one looks like it is hiding something. Every line below sets the same 36 characters. Nothing on this page would tell you whether the family can set Romanian, and the answer is on the coverage table.

The coverage table Back

The specimens on this page are set in the template’s own typefaces. Drop your own @font-face into src/styles/global.css and every waterfall, grid and paragraph here becomes your family — which is the entire point of a specimen page you can edit rather than one you export as a PNG.
