Kontour · Sibylle Hagmann · 1999

slabslab serif superfamilyitalic

A four-way slab serif superfamily, originally commissioned for Art Center College of Design and named after a desert cactus.

About

Cholla spans twelve cuts across Sans, Slab, Unicase and Wide, each treated as its own personality rather than a simple weight change. A tapered curve, most visible in the lowercase a, ties the cuts together despite their differences in structure.

Classification

A superfamily spanning sans, slab, unicase and wide cuts, unified by a tapered curve visible in details like the lowercase a rather than by a single weight structure.
