Trench Slab
Fontshare · Indian Type Foundry · 2021
A slab serif from Indian Type Foundry with exaggerated serifs and prominent ink-traps, intended for display and large-size setting rather than continuous body text.
About
Part of the broader Trench superfamily alongside Trench Round and Trench Sans, this slab is built around very large serifs and conspicuous ink-traps that give it a distinctive, almost mechanical character. It suits headlines, posters, logos and magazine layouts where the weight and structure of the slab can read at scale. Stylistic sets offer alternate forms including a single-storied capital I without serifs, a double-storied g and variants of M, N, W and w. Available in five static weights plus a variable font, with coverage across 135 languages.
Classification
A slab serif with very prominent slabs and large ink-traps, designed by Indian Type Foundry as part of the Trench superfamily. The exaggerated serifs and geometric construction place it firmly in the slab category.
