Sentinel Type Specimen
Sentinel is a slab-serif typeface family released in 2009 by Hoefler & Frere-Jones type foundry. It was created based on classical slab-serif typefaces, yet it was devised and designed in order to solve their shortcomings. As opposed to the previous slab-serifs, Sentinel comprises of several more weights and it includes italics. The main idea behind the specimen was to point out those improvements – to stress all the six weights from Light to Black, with the corresponding italics and show the adaptability of the typeface to different sizes, which enables its wide use.
