The Albert Sans Font Project

Albert Sans is a modern geometric sans serif family, inspired by the type-characteristics of scandinavian architects and designers in the early 20th century. The Albert Sans family includes nine weights (Thin to Black) in two widths (Normal and Narrow).

Designed by the Danish type designer Andreas Rasmussen from a.Foundry.

Building

Fonts are built automatically by GitHub Actions - take a look in the "Actions" tab for the latest build.

If you want to build fonts manually on your own computer:

  • make build will produce font files.
  • make test will run FontBakery's quality assurance tests.
  • make proof will generate HTML proof files.

The proof files and QA tests are also available automatically via GitHub Actions - look at https://usted.github.io/Albert-Sans.
