JY Alia was created by Jack Yan in 2008–9 as a robust, honest, aldine serif typeface. It was designed to complement JY Ætna (which works best with 14–24 pt) in text (8–12 pt). For those stuck with the question, ‘What else apart from Adobe Garamond or Bembo can I use?’ Alia comes to the rescue. There is an Ætna basis, with influences from Robert Granjon’s Plantin. Each font has between 2,600 (SCOSF) and 5,100 (OpenType roman) kerning pairs. Cross-platform OpenType, PC TrueType and PC PostScript Type 1 are available from launch.
