ALT Gumbo
A high-contrast neo-grotesque with seven weights, short ascenders and descenders, and coverage across Latin Extended and Basic Cyrillic.
About
Built for snug line-height settings, ALT Gumbo pairs its high stroke contrast with short ascenders and descenders to hold together tightly set text in both digital and print contexts. The family spans seven weights from Thin to Black, and ships with a solid OpenType feature set including stylistic alternates, old-style figures, case-sensitive punctuation and fractions. Latin Extended A coverage is complete, and Basic Cyrillic is included, making it a workable choice for multilingual editorial and identity work.
Classification
The foundry explicitly describes ALT Gumbo as a high-contrast neo-grotesque, with the even stroke modulation and rational construction characteristic of that sub-genre.
