Aleo - Google Fonts

About

Aleo is a contemporary typeface designed by Alessio Laiso as the slab serif companion to the Lato font by Łukasz Dziedzic. Aleo has semi-rounded details and a sleek structure, giving it a strong personality while still keeping readability high.

The June 2023 update expanded the family from 6 style to 18 and became variable. It offers also a better language support (Pan African and Vietnamese added), and the design and spacing have been improved.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
