Typeface Family for Print and Web
Sports energy encoded in type anatomy
Zico Slab is a slab serif family designed by Marko Hrastovec (Latin) and Daniel Grumer (Hebrew), released by Typotheque in 2016. Drawn from sports and hand-lettering influences, the family uses wider proportions and a large x-height, with styles suited to both large and small sizes. Contrast is intentionally graduated: Thin weights approach monolinear forms, heavier weights open counters for continuous text, and Black weights become dense and compact.
