Albertus was begun in 1932 by Berthold Wolpe at the encouragement of, again, Stanley Morison. Morison had seen an example of Wolpe's inscriptual lettering and commissioned him to design a typeface based upon the design he had liked so much.
Work continued on the typeface right up until 1940.
Note:
There is some lovely bits of this typeface where curves and angles meet, particularly on the "a". I have taken this into my typeface to fit in with the contrast them, particularly in the "f", "t" and "s".
