Because of its linear nature and relative loose fit, FF Alega may be used in a variety of circumstances, producing headlines or even for setting text. When Rückel designed FF Alega, he did not consider adding a serif version. But following the typeface’s release, he experimented with the idea and decided that the effort was worthwhile. FF Alega Serif has a technical look, but is very readable. It combines well with the original sans serif face. Rückel says this about his process. “My intention was to create a face with a technical look that was still very readable and suitable for headlines and body text,” writes Siegfried Rückel.
“While working on several fun faces, I suddenly discovered a form which seemed to be a good basis for a new design. This form appears in all of the FF Alega fonts, especially in the letters b, d, p, q, h, m, n, and u … as well as in most of the stroke endings and character curves. It was a challenge to find new forms for several characters. For example, the capital X looks like a pre-historic cave painting, or primitive African art. I also transferred the lower case g into a technoid form. I tested legibility using texts from pharmaceutical products, which you really must read character by character because you wouldn’t recognize the words with just a cursory glance at the text.”
