Alternative Font
Author's note
Alternative is a free geometric sans serif display font built from broad, clean strokes and sharply cut forms. Its uppercase lettering has a firm, architectural silhouette. Angles and open forms keep the design crisp.
Poster headlines are its strongest setting, particularly for modernist exhibitions. The severe geometry also suits album covers, fashion branding, and signage, treating letters almost as constructed symbols. In brand identities, its assertive capitals can turn a short name into a recognizable mark.
