Altair
Zetafonts · Francesco Canovaro, Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini, Andrea Tartarelli · 2016
A seven-weight humanist sans with calligraphic roots, derived from Zetafonts' own Digitalino and suited to corporate and editorial work.
About
Expanded from Francesco Canovaro's original bold design for Digitalino, Altair runs from Thin to Ultra across 14 styles including matching italics. Its calligraphic underpinning gives the letterforms a warmth that suits brand voices and editorial contexts where a neutral grotesque would feel too cold. Coverage extends to 202 languages across Latin and Greek scripts.
Classification
Altair is derived from the calligraphic Digitalino typeface, giving it humanist roots with organic stroke contrast that distinguishes it from geometric or grotesque sans-serif traditions.
