Arbutus Slab
A sturdy slab serif with the same hand-crafted warmth as Arbutus, offering a more readable companion for text-heavy display settings.
About
Arbutus Slab translates the artisanal quality of Arbutus into a more workable slab format, with its low-contrast strokes and square serifs providing better colour consistency across a line of text. It suits editorial subheadings, vintage branding, and packaging where a robust, characterful serif is needed without excessive ornamentation. Like its companion, it is available only in a single regular weight, which limits its use in complex typographic hierarchies.
Classification
Arbutus Slab shares the warm, slightly rough texture of its companion Arbutus but applies it to a sturdy slab serif construction with low contrast and robust letterforms. The result is an approachable, characterful slab with genuine personality.
