Much wide, such slab. (previously known as Zapata)

LTR Slab Extended

This is the new name for an old friend. Inspired by historic models but not a revival, this low-contrast, slab-serif is the perfect choice when you’ve got all kinds of space to spread out. A variable font, the weights can be dialed way up for page-filling professing. Combine lines of different weights to liven up long lists. It is so wide and heavy I can only use it abbreviated.

Why the name change? More trademark shennenigans?

Ah, no. At the time, I picked the name from a map of Texas because I liked the sound of it. But in the end the typeface has nothing to do with Mexican / American history. So its name should not allude to a connection either. “Slab Extended” is a good description that fits well in the tradition of dull, descriptive and practical foundry names.

You know the drop shadow thing is not part of the font, right? It is a thing I made with the fonts.
