A warm humanist slab serif by Marcus Sterz, offered in seven weights with upright italics and an extensive OpenType feature set including oldstyle figures, alternate arrows and multiple fraction formats.
About
Adria Slab carries a friendly, approachable character typical of humanist slab designs, with its personality reinforced by charming upright italics rather than conventional slanted ones. The OpenType feature set is thorough: lining, tabular and oldstyle figures sit alongside numerators, denominators, fractions, standard and discretionary ligatures, and several alternate glyphs including arrows that shift form across weights. Version 2.0 refined a number of letterforms and extended language coverage to include Greek alongside a broad range of Latin-based scripts.
Classification
Classified as a humanist slab serif due to its warm, organic character and humanist letterform proportions. The upright italics and varied stroke contrast reinforce the humanist slab tradition rather than a geometric or Egyptian approach.
