German type designer Erik Spiekermann, American type designer Christian Schwartz, and New Zealand type designer Kris Sowersby created this slab FontFont in 2009.

The family has 14 weights, ranging from Thin to Ultra (including italics) and is ideally suited for editorial and publishing, logo, branding and creative industries as well as web and screen design.

FF Unit Slab provides advanced typographical support with features such as ligatures, small capitals, alternate characters, case-sensitive forms, fractions, and super- and subscript characters.

It comes with a complete range of figure set options – oldstyle and lining figures, each in tabular and proportional widths.

As well as Latin-based languages, the typeface family also supports the Cyrillic and Greek writing systems.

This FontFont is a member of the FF Unit super family, which also includes FF Unit and FF Unit Rounded.
