Aleksa
Traditional Ukrainian letterforms in a contemporary humanist system for culture, cities, and brands.
Aleksa is a humanist sans by Kyrylo Tkachov and Marchela Mozhyna, released by AlfaBravo in 2020. The designers combine traditional Ukrainian forms in selected letters with contemporary construction, turning national character into a working system rather than a decorative quotation. The family spans nine weights from Thin to Black with matching italics—18 styles in total. Aleksa suits cultural identities, editorial design, books, wayfinding, packaging, posters, and short text.

Hand this prompt to your AI agent. It connects the Shryftoriz server itself, reads Aleksa out of the catalogue, and builds with it.
Build me a typographic system around "Aleksa" using the Shryftoriz MCP server. Look the font up there first (lookup_font), check which cuts it actually has, then set a scale: display, headings, subheads, body, small print — with sizes, line heights and tracking for each. Say which cut does which job and why. If "Aleksa" is wrong for one of those roles, propose a Ukrainian alternative from the catalogue (find_alternatives) instead of stretching it. Finish with CSS I can paste into a project. If the Shryftoriz MCP server is not connected yet, add it first: HTTP transport, name "shryftoriz", URL https://shryftoriz.online/api/mcp — in Claude Code that is `claude mcp add --transport http shryftoriz https://shryftoriz.online/api/mcp`.
Or press the one you use — the prompt lands straight in its chat window.
