Typeface Design for a Multiscript Serif Family

From graduation project to trilingual type system

Alkes originated as Kaja Słojewska's graduation project at the University of Reading, later refined with Plamen Motev and Nikolay Petroussenko at Fontfabric. Named after a star, the humanist serif evolved to harmonise Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts within a single coherent system. It ships in 14 styles spanning Thin to Black with matching italics, and carries a broad OpenType feature set suited to editorial and multilingual publishing.
