Austral Slab is a hand-drawn layered type family. It is casual, robust, and spirited. It is monolinear in spirit, despite having irregular stems that give the fonts an eroded effect (particularly exaggerated in the Medium styles). It was originally released in 2016, and in 2024 updated with version 2.000 that includes a new weight distribution and clean no-textured fonts, major updates on glyph support, OpenType features, corrections on the design of specific characters, and more.
The clean fonts come in six weights: Hairline, Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Regular and Medium. Textured styles come in three weights, Thin, Light, and Medium. All these share the same crooked structure with bent strokes and irregular outlines.
The textures available are Blur, Rough, Rust, and Stamp, and the layered style is Maplines. 'Blur' is a softened style with round and heavy swelling at intersections. 'Rough' has solid irregular contours. 'Rust' has a deteriorated texture over the glyphs. 'Stamp' has the appearance of a print that didn't get enough ink. 'Maplines' is uniquely filled with topographic map-like lines.
Austral Slab has three sets of alphabets that slightly differ. These sequentially alternate to avoid repeating the same textured letterforms, having a more realistic irregular result. The Contextual Alternates feature is available in all the styles of this type family.
Some Austral Slab's features are Ligatures, Discretionary Ligatures, Stylistic Alternates, numerators, fractions, arrows, and a glyph coverage that ensures extended language support.
