About
First released by Neil Summerour in 2011, Halogen Slab Pro is the remastered edition of the slab variant from the Halogen family, updated with Cyrillic and Greek coverage alongside an extended character set. Forty-two styles span seven weights from Hairline to Black, each paired with an oblique, and the family includes OpenType features such as small caps, oldstyle numerals, fractions and case-sensitive forms. The generous x-height and broad language support across 343 languages make it suitable for both display and extended text settings.
Classification
A slab serif with oblique rather than italic companions and a generous x-height, sitting within the geometric slab tradition. The squared serifs and extended weight range place it firmly in this subcategory.
