Magdelin is a minimal yet warm gothic sans serif typeface consisting of 40 typefaces with normal and alternate households. At its core, the design is a gothic sans having basic types and low contrast, yet it takes some qualities from the humanist class with its calligraphy or cursive-inspired information found in the italics and the bowl shapes of characters like b and d. The weights vary from thin to black.
The small x-height, longer ascenders and descenders, and semi-condensed percentages offer it a bit of a vintage or traditional feel while still appearing modern and contemporary in present typographic landscapes. The tidy style enables it to be an useful and versatile workhorse household great for branding, product packaging, editorial, books, sites, digital, and more.
With the alternate family (Magdelin Alt) comes a lot 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.
