## About Albert Sans

Albert Sans is a geometric sans serif family with near-circular bowls, a double-storey a and strokes of almost even thickness. In the specimen the tail of the Q is a short vertical stroke that crosses the bottom of the bowl, and the t is cut at a slant at its top. The official description links the design to lettering by Scandinavian architects and designers working in the early 1900s. Albert Sans is a variable font with one axis, weight, from 100 to 900. Nine named weights, Thin to Black, each have an italic, which makes 18 styles. The fonts contain 405 glyphs in the Latin and Latin Extended subsets, with complete letters for Turkish, Polish, Czech and other European languages. Andreas Rasmussen, a Danish type designer at a.Foundry, drew the family. Albert Sans was added to Google Fonts in 2022 under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Product interfaces**: Nine weights on one axis cover everything from hairline display numbers to heavy button labels without a second family.
- **Brand identities with a Nordic reference**: The geometry draws on early twentieth-century Scandinavian architectural lettering, a clear starting point for a design-led brand.
- **Body text with emphasis**: Every weight has an italic, so running text, captions and quotations keep the same letter shapes.
- **Presentations and reports**: Thin and Black at opposite ends of the axis give slide titles and figures strong contrast with Regular text.

## Things to know

- **One axis: weight**: Albert Sans varies from 100 to 900 in weight. There is no width or optical size axis.
- **Latin only**: The 405 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended. Vietnamese, Cyrillic and Greek are not included.
- **Two variable files**: The package contains one upright and one italic variable font; each holds all nine weights.
