Alda was designed in 2008. The original idea for Alda came from exploring an alternative approach to generating different typeface weights by adapting the characteristics of physical objects.

This allowed him to infuse each weight with unique characteristics, where the bold is robust and angular, and the light is delicate and soft. --------- ###Download the PDF [here](https://www.emigre.com/PDF/Alda.pdf)
