Altostratus is an open-source neo-grotesque type family. Distinct in it's indistinction, it pulls inspiration from an overcast day: a continuous uniform cloud layer that forms at middle altitude; grey in color; neutral. It represents a balance between systems, and optics. Includes five weights with one variable style. Over 500 glyphs for extended language support and various OpenType features.

The specimen book is a 64 page hand-bound book, showcasing the typeface in the traditional specimen form, as well as a typographic form of expression. The book itself plays with the idea of layering clouds at different altitudes, reflected in the different layers of overlapping type.
