Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Alvesto.
The stems stay straight and strong, the apertures open wide, the counters round and two letters carry small curved feet. That open e is the character: a plain working sans gains one generous counter, which is why the sample keeps a short heading. No paragraph or interface specimen is shown, so test your own combination at 16 pt, check the t foot and the triangular A opening, and confirm the weights you need for a hierarchy. The t foot is the small marker to check at small sizes: it blunts at 14 pt while the e aperture still holds, so keep 16 pt for anything read at a glance and test the A opening too.

Sign for a bicycle workshop
The plain weight reads on a door, and the open e holds a short name at 40 pt on a printed plate, where the curved t foot keeps the sign from feeling industrial.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 400 by 200 mm plate: set the workshop name at 40 pt on one row, keep 16 mm of clear ground beneath before the hours at 13 pt, and keep 18 mm of margin for the fixings.
Pre-production check
The t foot under 20 pt reads as a smudge; check the mounted plate and keep the name at 32 pt or above.
Card for a work thank-you
The straightforward sans suits a group card, and the open counters hold a short line at 26 pt on an A6 sheet, where the even weight stays friendly rather than corporate.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A6 card: set the line at 26 pt across the upper half, keep 16 mm of clear ground beneath before the signatures at 11 pt, and keep 14 mm of margin so the triangular A has air.
Pre-production check
A long line of plain type looks like a memo; check the card and keep the sentence short, since two short lines read warmer than one long one.
Label for a classroom shelf
The plain caps read at a glance, and the strong stems hold a subject label at 20 pt on an 80 by 25 mm strip, where the open e stays clear from a metre away.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an 80 by 25 mm shelf strip: set the subject at 20 pt on one row, keep 5 mm of clear ground at each end, and keep the strip white so the black holds contrast under classroom light.
Pre-production check
Only a short specimen is shown; check the numerals before setting a class number, and test the digits on a shelf strip proof first.
