An original display serif from Apex Foundry, drawing on the arid landscapes of Southern Spain rather than any historical typeface tradition.
About
Almeria is a bold, high-contrast serif built without reference to historical models, its character shaped instead by the stark visual contrasts of Andalusia. The family ships in Regular and Italic, with an extensive Latin character set covering small capitals, old-style figures, a wide range of ligatures and a substantial suite of OpenType features including circled figures and alternative arrows. The specimen positions it around the literature of Don Quixote, suggesting an affinity for literary and editorial settings with a strong voice.
Classification
Almeria is described as a bold and distinctive serif that shuns historical models or direct revivals, suggesting an original display serif design with high contrast inspired by Andalusian visual culture rather than any classical tradition.
