Glance Slab
Identity Letters · 2024
A slab serif with floating, disconnected strokes that produce a stencil-like sparkle at display sizes and act as ink traps at smaller settings.
About
The detached serifs and unjoined strokes are its defining feature: at large sizes they create a flickering, stencil-adjacent rhythm, while at body sizes the gaps function as ink traps, maintaining legibility. The 2024 update added italics, a stylistic set for an extreme stencil mode, and grew the glyph count to 730, covering Latin Plus with oldstyle figures, circled numerals and arrow sets. Designed as a companion to Glance Sans, the two families share proportions and can be paired across branding, posters and event signage.
Classification
