The name Allegra not only sounds good, it also offers some advantages as a word picture. In contrast to most other font names, we can immediately spot the proportions of the x-height to the ascenders and descenders. In the word “Allegra” we find the lower case “e”, the most common letter in English, German and in many other European languages, as well as the most difficult letter combination in lowercase letters, the pair “ra”, where a hole appears when kerning is faultily made.
