Jabana Alt

Jabana Alt is a hand display font family. This typeface has twenty styles and was published by TypeMates.

Jabana Alt is the much more standard looking brother of Jabana.
Each letter is altered and changed.
But you can also use it for coffee and more.
It is inspired by having a “Schorle” at Hamburgs coffee bars.
Super compressed and extended letter shapes in 5 widths, smooth handwritten marker curves and especially a wide range of opentype features define the large character set of Jabana Alt.
Further family member are the awesome Jabana Extras for fancy designs.
Each letter and punctuation got three simple varieties of alternates.
This gives a nice looking handwritten nature to the font.
Besides the standard accented letters, fractions, mathematical glyphs, superiors and inferiors, you will find alternates, extra bullets, different arrows, negative figures and roman numerals.
Especially an opentype stylistic set gives an extra touch to it while putting a dot/line above denominators or underneath numerators (ss03+numr/dnom).
They are meant to be used for decoration or distinction.
Another reason for the amount of 1500 glyphs are the numerator and denominator letters which include A-Z, punctuation and the extra bullets (ss09-16).

Jabana Alt is Jabana’s slightly less crazy sibling. Inspired by having a ’Schorle’ in Hamburg’s coffee bars, Jabana Alt’s smooth handwritten marker curves come in 20 styles across 5 widths: from the super-compressed to the extended.

A particularly wide range of OpenType features define Jabana Alt. Each letter, numeral and punctuation mark has three alternates and after being randomly picked by the Contextual Alternates OpenType feature (or accessed via stylistic sets ss01, ss02) they ensure text set in Jabana Alt has a lively, handwritten appearance.

But Jabana Alt doesn’t stop there: it comes with the character set to deliver serious European typography. Alongside standard accented letters, fractions, mathematical glyphs, superiors and inferiors, you will find alternates, extra bullets, different arrows, negative figures and roman numerals. For decoration or distinction, there are extra bullets and a numerator and denominator sets that include the full A-Z, their own punctuation and can stand alone, atop a dot or a line.

If Jabana Alt is a bit too sedate for your purpose, have a look at Jabana: its smaller x-height, crazier forms and lengthy descenders might be your cup of coffee.
And, if you need some fancy designs try Jabana Extras as a sweetener.
