Alpinist is humanist sans with a little x-height optimised for publication style and other editorial applications. The strokes of the letters have actually somewhat rounded corners; this rounding is more obvious in the much heavier weights. Alpinist's numerals are proportional oldstyle figures. The capital letters are wide, which harmonises well with the long ascenders and descenders. Alpinist features some very distinct letterforms: for circumstances, the capital 'G' has a beard, however no crossbar; the lowercase 'a' and 'g' are both double-storey; the 'g' has a flamboyant ear; the tail of the 'y' ends in a curve; the cedilla has actually a removed form.
