About the family


Slow Tempo is a relaxed, loose-fit font that you can enjoy with ease.

It features basic, natural, and neutral letterforms with a clean skeletal structure, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Still, Slow Tempo has several distinctive characteristics. Its gentle curvature at the intersections of stems with shoulders or bowls, along with large, open apertures, contributes to a calm and airy impression.

The letterforms have low contrast and geometric construction for a neutral feel, combined with a large x-height and humanistic terminals that enhance legibility and character recognition.

The family includes eight weights, each with matching italics, offering flexibility for everything from body text to impactful headings.

Slow Tempo also supports a wide range of international Latin-based languages and basic Cyrillic, including Basic Latin, Western European, Central, and South-Eastern European languages. It covers key encodings such as Mac Roman, Windows-1252, and Adobe Latin 1–3, expanding its usability across various global design projects.
