Alfrere Sans is a clean Sans Serif display family inspired by a well-known 1950s television caption. The family of seven faces have been designed for independent use, but they also have an extra feature. All faces have identical metrics and can be overlaid with each other, to yield an unending range of multi-coloured lettering effects. Bring a touch of the 5o’s to your next poster design. Better yet, explore the world of multi-coloured overlaid typefaces….
