thank you for your recent inquiry at lineto.com, and for your interest in the 'alpha headline' font.
'alpha headline' was designed by cornel windlin in 1993, and was first released on the lineto site at its start in 1999, where it has been one of the most popular fonts. it has been taken off our library very recently because it is being developed into a family of four fonts, including a newly-designed full lower case sets, for the exclusive use of one client. the licensing agreement prevents us from selling the fonts for the next 10 years.
we will be removing the type specimen from the site at our next site update, when we will present a number of exciting new typefaces from various lineto designers. please let me know if you would like to be notified once the update is online.

So for the next 10 years, I guess we'll have to use carplates.

Strange that in FENCE, the C really don't fit at all with others letters? too small, too light, etc.

karl - do us a small favor: email Lineto and ask them
why it's unavailable.

Does anybody know if there's a font available with the characters of the German license plates? It's a really funky face.
