Flygande bäckasiner söka hwila på mjuka tuvor.
Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex!
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Zwölf Boxkämpfer jagen Viktor quer über den großen Sylter Deich. Høj bly gom vandt fræk sexquiz på wc. 0123456789
Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. Portez ce vieux whisky au juge blond qui fume. Pchnąć w tę łódź jeża lub ośm skrzyń fig. Příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy. ÅÄÖ åäö ÆØ æø ß € © → 0123456789

Grid, order and a little warmth
Swiss typography taught us that clarity is a form of generosity. A good typeface gets out of the way, lets the content speak and holds a page together without asking for attention.
Almost Swiss keeps that discipline, then loosens the tie a little. Open apertures and calm proportions keep text even at small sizes, while a few details give it a voice of its own.
From caption to headline
Nine styles from Thin to Black cover everything from fine print to posters. The lighter weights are made for large sizes and quiet confidence; the heavier ones for signage, packaging and anything that needs to be seen from across a room.
Æble, Øresund, Kraków, Brno, İzmir, Dvořák. Extended Latin support covers most European languages.
