A compressed display slab by Philipp Neumeyer drawing on wood type traditions and Clarendon-era references, with deliberate quirks and confident character.
About
Rooted in compressed slab wood types such as Clarendon, Antique and Ionic, Yuni Slab carries chunky serifs, ball terminals and a curvature partly inspired by the Romain du Roi into a family of six weights from Hair to Black. Over 900 glyphs per style cover Latin and native-approved Cyrillic for more than 270 languages, alongside multiple figure sets, circled numerals and contextual alternates for headline work. Built for display at scale, it suits editorial design, poster work and identities where an unapologetic personality is the point.
Classification
A compressed slab serif with wood type and Clarendon-era references, featuring chunky serifs and ball terminals characteristic of 19th-century display slabs. Its compressed proportions and headline orientation place it firmly in the display slab category.
