Albireo Condensed Black Italic

Designed by Cory Maylett, Albireo is a display sans and sans serif font family. This typeface has forty-five styles and was published by Cory Maylett Design.

Albireo is a typeface for those times when you have more to say than space to say it in. It also looks fantastic spread out across the page as though space doesn’t matter.

Expertly crafted with a high level of attention to detail, Albireo is an immensely practical and flexible typeface that’s neutral enough to be used almost anywhere a highly condensed, sans-serif face is needed. Despite its down-to-earth functionality, this is a typeface that definitely isn’t lacking in style. It really shines when used for headlines or subheadings in magazines, brochures, posters, newspapers, flyers or on the web.

With 42 weights, widths and italics, there’s enough flexibility to make every word fit perfectly. Purchase the entire collection and, in addition to the 42 separate fonts, you’ll receive two variable fonts (upright and italic) that cover all the weights, widths and everything in between.

So where does the name come from? Well, look upwards at night. Albireo is a binary star in the constellation Cygnus. Through a backyard telescope, Albireo (the star) resolves into two brilliant component stars — one orange and one blue. The beginnings of the typeface were the result of me needing a newspaper feature headline about space exploration. I couldn’t find the right typeface, so I drew my own letters and eventually expanded it out into an entire mega-family. Given its origins, naming it after my favorite star seemed totally appropriate.

Check it out. I think you’ll love it. Albireo deserves its place as a shining star in everyone’s font collection. It’s that good — really.
