About the family

Slabdon is a contemporary variable serif typeface that reinterprets the legacy of nineteenth-century slab serifs through a flexible, system-driven approach tailored for today’s editorial environments. Unlike early Egyptian types, which prioritized strength and repetition, Slabdon introduces controlled modulation, allowing the design to shift between functional neutrality and expressive presence. Its structure is anchored in a stable vertical axis and balanced proportions, enriched with refinements from transitional and modern serif traditions. The result is a typeface that feels both familiar and current, merging the mechanical clarity of slab serifs with the optical sensitivity essential for extended reading in print and digital media. At its core, Slabdon features a four-axis variable system that broadens its typographic range. The width axis facilitates transitions from compact to more open compositions, adapting seamlessly to diverse layouts. The weight axis spans a wide range while maintaining consistency in contrast and construction, ensuring reliability from text to display. The serif axis introduces a unique capability, modulating terminal forms from subtle, restrained endings to pronounced slab structures, offering precise control over tone. The optical size axis refines proportions, spacing, and contrast according to scale, preserving legibility in smaller sizes and elegance in larger settings. Together, these axes create a coherent and practical system for developing flexible typographic solutions. Slabdon includes true italics, drawn independently to provide a more fluid and calligraphic counterpart to the upright styles, enhancing texture and hierarchy in continuous text. Designed for readability, the typeface features moderate contrast, open forms, and carefully balanced spacing to support long reading sessions. OpenType features such as ligatures, small caps, numerators, denominators, and stylistic alternates further extend its versatility. Slabdon serves as a comprehensive typographic tool, bridging historical references and contemporary needs with a consistent and adaptable voice, making it ideal for branding, editorial design, and web applications.

About Tipo Pèpel

Located in a small town, Les Borges Blanques, Spain, Tipo Pèpel is a digital type foundry run by Josep Patau. The self-taught designer began producing experimental typefaces in 1996 and started selling them through MyFonts in 2011. His debut font, Anduaga, was a revival from Joseph de Anduaga y Garimberti, the XVII´s famous spanish calligrapher. Since then, his library had expanded to include nearly two dozen font families, each of which is unique and reflects the small country town he comes from with a familiar rural feel. Some of Josep’s best selling typefaces, including Pobla, Bridone, and Cinta, really demonstrate the impact his home has on his designs, while Boxed, a semi-modular geometric font, is a step outside of this theme. “All of my projects excite me and I put my best into each of them, doing everything with my own two hands,” Josep says. “I treat them all like my children.” With a focus on the details and creating high quality drawings, each of his fonts offers an extended character map that is fully capable with OpenType features. He also diligently insures that each of his typefaces is legible in all sizes. “I think that this is one of my goals because I always begin my designs by thinking about the final use if the font,” he says. “I worry about this a lot, so I do thousands of tests before launching the final font to ensure high quality standards and full satisfaction for final users.”
