Alumni Sans - Google Fonts

About

Originally inspired by the black face Impact, it soon evolved to include numerous weights from the Black flavor of its progenitor to a super Thin weight.

The extreme weights (Thin and Black) are designed for display situations while the remaining weights may be used for more traditional textual design applications.

Alumni is available in roman and italic versions. It comes with Latin character sets including Western, Central, and Vietnamese language support.

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.
