Henderson Slab specimen from Sudtipos

A geometric slab serif rooted in Albert Du Bois's 1906 Henderson Sign Painter capitals, now a family of seven weights plus italics.

About

Henderson Slab began with a few bold caps from a 1906 sign-painting manual, growing from majuscules into a full lowercase, six more weights and italics over the course of its development. It covers nearly the entire range of the slab-serif genre through its weight axis, with extended Latin language support.

Classification

Rooted in bold caps drawn by Albert Du Bois for the 1906 Henderson Sign Painter book, developed into a full geometric slab-serif family.
