Designers Note
Almendra is a bold, eye-catching display font with a vintage charm, perfect for headlines, posters, and branding projects. Its strong serifs and distinctive character shapes give it a timeless, handcrafted feel. The font features a mix of soft curves and sharp edges, making it highly readable while maintaining a unique personality. Ideal for both digital and print use, Almendra adds a touch of elegance and nostalgia to any design.
Almendra is a typeface design based on calligraphy. Its style is related to the chancery and gothic hands. It is intended to be used in long texts, especially young children's literature. Almendra's black and white forms generate a nice texture in small sizes, while its many details appear when given the opportunity in huge sizes. The main challenge was to make compatible dialectic elements, especially balancing legibility and formal identity. Almendra was selected to be exhibited at the Bienal Iberoamericana de Diseño in 2010 and was part of the German editorial project Typodarium 2012.
This is the Small Cap family, and there are sister Regular and Display families.
