About
Part of the Vin superfamily alongside a sans and a mono, Vin Slab Pro offers 16 styles across eight weights with matching italics. The condensed proportions and rigid slab construction are paired with rounded corners to soften the rigidity, while the extra-large x-height gives each weight strong presence at small sizes. It is positioned for headlines and short copy where emphasis matters.
