Susan Classic specimen from ParaType

A low-contrast slab serif with rounded serifs, designed in 2008 as a companion to Shmavonyan's earlier sans-serif Susan.

About

Susan Classic pairs with the Susan sans-serif family, sharing the same authorship and intended to work together as a superfamily. Its rounded, one- and two-sided serifs give it a distinctive softness uncommon in the slab genre, while open letterforms keep it readable at text sizes. Four styles cover book and bold weights with italics, suited to short text, magazines and advertising typography.

Classification

Low-contrast slab serif with distinctive one- and two-sided rounded serifs, placing it in a rounded slab category. Open letterforms and moderate contrast suggest a contemporary approach to the slab tradition rather than a strict historical revival.
