Albertus is a glyphic serif display typeface designed by Berthold Wolpe in the period 1932 to 1940 for the British branch of the printing company Monotype.

Wolpe studied as a metal engraver, and Albertus was modelled to resemble letters carved into bronze.

[1] Titling caps were released first, and the Monotype Recorder of summer 1935 presented the capitals as an advance showing.

It is also known for its use by director John Carpenter in the opening credits of several of his films, including Escape from New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Prince of Darkness, and They Live.

[10][11] Monotype's previous digital version is also available and Albertus digitisations have also been sold by Adobe, Bitstream, Fontsite, SoftMaker and others.

Featuring medium and extra-bold weights but no italics, A028 is widely available on Linux systems and other open source environments.
