Alice

Designed by Ksenya Erulevich, Cyreal

About

Ksenia Erulevich, designer of the Alice typeface, was inspired by Lewis Carrol's novel and decided to make a typeface that will be suitable for typesetting that book.

It came out eclectic and quaint, old-fashioned, having widened proportions, open aperture, and soft rounded features; perfect for long meditative text-setting and headlines.

This is in fact Ksenia's first typeface, as part of her diploma project in a Type and Typography course in Moscow, Russia.

Released by Cyreal with help from Gayaneh Bagdasaryan and Alexei Vanyashin.

Choosing type

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.
