Magdelin is a minimal yet warm gothic sans serif
typeface consisting of 40 fonts with normal and
alternate families. At its core, the design is a
gothic sans having simple forms and low contrast,
yet it takes some qualities from the humanist class
with its calligraphy or cursive-inspired details
found in the italics and the bowl shapes of
characters like b and d. The weights range from thin
to black.
The small x-height, longer ascenders and descenders,
and semi-condensed proportions give it a bit of a
vintage or classic feel while still appearing
contemporary and modern in current typographic
landscapes. The clean design allows it to be a
useful and versatile workhorse family great for
branding, packaging, editorial, books, websites,
digital, and more.
With the alternate family (Magdelin Alt) comes even
more calligraphic details by having certain strokes
terminate with an angle so it reflects a broad-nib
pen drawn at an angle. This increases the overall
warmth in appearance.
Magdelin has many OpenType features: Stylistic
alternates. Discretionary
ligatures. Case-sensitive punctuation for All
Caps. Tabular figures. Fractions,
numerators, denominators. Superscript,
subscript. Slashed zero.
With over 600 glyphs, this font has extensive Latin
language support (100+ Latin languages) for Western,
Central, and South Eastern European.
