A2-Type · A2-Type

About
Designed for The New York Times Magazine at the commission of Gail Bichler and Matt Willey, Ny. Slab Skyscraper is the most extreme variant in the Ny. Slab sub-family. It takes the proportions of Ny. Slab Tower and pushes them further still, producing a tall, tightly compressed slab suited to large-scale headlines and poster settings. Available in a single Black weight, it is a specialist cut built for moments where vertical drama is the editorial intent.
Classification
