Description

I introduced Almonte on December 23, 1999. It was a quick, top-of-the
dome attempt at a wooden sans look, created entirely digitally without
reference to actual wood type. I just imagined how it should look and
built it from scratch with digital tools.
I released the family in three finishes: standard, wood grain, and snow.
At the time, I saw it as a free alternative to fonts like Poplar, since there
weren’t many no-cost options for that bold poster style. Rather than
trying to be authentic, I exaggerated the forms, making them clunky
and dumpy — because sometimes a typeface needs to lean into “ugly”
to hit the right note.
The name comes from Almonte, Ontario, where my sister lives, which
felt fitting for a design with a rural character. Almonte was immediately
popular and ended up on product labels, restaurant signs, and plenty of
websites. I’ve also seen it used in mock-ups imitating old-fashioned
wood poster styles.
It wasn’t the only time I tried this kind of exaggerated rustic design.
Bench Grinder, which came later, was even more clunky and strange. In
April 2024, I placed Almonte in the public domain so it could continue
circulating freely.
