About
Apero Slab is a cheerful hand-drawn slab serif designed by Giuseppe Salerno and Paco González, released in 2016. It spans five weights from Regular to Heavy, with two additional Lines cuts adding a decorative inline effect to the Bold and Heavy styles. The organic letterforms suit lifestyle branding, menu design and display headlines, though the handwritten character limits its range beyond those contexts.
Classification
