Edie and Eddy Slab
TypeMates · Lisa Fischbach · 2022
A bold, expressive slab serif by Lisa Fischbach, designed as part of the Edie and Eddy superfamily where it takes the loudest, most playful role alongside a Modern and a Text companion.
About
Part of a three-member superfamily sharing a common hairline base, this slab pulls away from its siblings through unconventional contrast and emphatic egyptienne proportions. Eight weights from Thin to Black with matching italics cover everything from delicate headlines to poster-scale shouting, while the italics narrow slightly to shift typographic colour and offer stylistic alternatives including cursive-inflected letterforms. Small caps, varied figure styles and hand emojis round out a character set stretching across Latin and Vietnamese.
Classification
A slab serif with egyptienne proportions and unconventional contrast, sharing a hairline base with its Modern and Text siblings but differentiated by loud, bold slab characteristics intended for display use.
