Austral Slab

Introducing Austral Slab, a captivating hand-drawn layered type family that exudes a casual, robust, and spirited vibe. Despite its monolinear essence, the fonts feature irregular stems for an eroded effect, more pronounced in the Medium styles. Initially launched in 2016, Austral Slab received a significant update in 2024 with version 2.000, introducing a new weight distribution, clean no-textured fonts, expanded glyph support, advanced OpenType features, refined character designs, and more. This type family offers a range of six clean font weights, including Hairline, Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Regular, and Medium.

Distinguished by three sets of alphabets that subtly differ, Austral Slab ensures a varied display of textured letterforms, resulting in a realistic and engaging irregular appearance. With the inclusion of the Contextual Alternates feature across all styles, users can effortlessly achieve diverse and unique typographic outcomes. Beyond its versatile styling options, Austral Slab boasts an array of features like Ligatures, Discretionary Ligatures, Stylistic Alternates, numerators, fractions, arrows, and comprehensive glyph coverage to support multiple languages seamlessly. For those seeking a more textured aesthetic, the font family offers three weights – Thin, Light, and Medium – each characterized by crooked structures, bent strokes, and irregular outlines, available in Rough, Blur, Rust, Stamp, and Maplines textures for added visual interest and depth.
