Part of the extended Rahere typeface family, Rahere Slab is a humanist slab serif (or Egyptian) in six weights from light to extra bold with corresponding italics.
Rahere Slab – like its siblings Rahere Sans & Rahere Informal – features subtle detailing, giving the typeface a distinctive, warm appearance without distracting the reader. Legible at large and small sizes, Rahere Slab is a versatile, workhorse typeface suitable for a wide range of applications, including information signage, packaging, annual reports, advertising, brochures, catalogues, screen text and visual identities. For projects that need to convey a sense of authority tempered with diplomacy, or if the message just needs some serious oomph, this is a great slab serif for the job.
If the project needs a companion sans serif, Rahere Sans works beautifully with Rahere Slab.
The character set covers most European languages, plus Vietnamese. Each weight contains lining & non-aligning numerals in both proportional & tabular spacing. The tabular numerals share the same width across all weights and styles (matching Rahere Sans too) – a must for financial tables in annual reports.
The italic lowercase is more cursive and calligraphic than the roman, but it harmonises perfectly, displaying enough character to create emphasis without looking out of place. When used on its own (for example, pull-out quotes), the italic exudes a charm that draws attention to the text.
