Albertus is a serif typeface designed by Berthold Wolpe in the period from 1935 to 1940. The face was released by the British typeface foundry Monotype Corporation in 1945. The design of Albertus was influenced by various early 20th-century geometric sans-serifs, including Futura and Kabel. However, unlike these faces, which are based on simple geometric shapes, Albertus has more organic forms. The rounded terminals of the letters give the face a softer, friendlier appearance than many of its contemporaries. Despite its modernist influences, Albertus has a traditional overall look, and is therefore well suited for use in a wide range of applications. The face has been used extensively in branding and advertising, as well as for book design and other print projects.
