Amazing Slab is a typeface family designed by Francesco Canovaro and Andrea Tartarelli as a development of the Amazing Grotesk family designed by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini. Mixing an Egyptian serif, low-contrast approach with the curved endings and open shapes of humanist sans grotesques, it was developed to embody the energetic and friendly nature of the startup scene: a feeling of innovation, information, and energy, with a desire for simplicity and straightforward communication.

The basic design shapes for the font come from the strong personality of the extrabold letterforms drawn by Francesco Canovaro for his StartupItalia logo, which informed the display design of the four darkest weights (from medium to black). Each of these weights has been paired with an inline version, designed by Mario De Libero, to extend the range of uses for the typefaces, from bold signage to logo design, to editorial titling.

The lighter range of the family features two weights (regular and light) that are designed for text use, complemented by the thin and extralight weights that are better suited to big point size, for editorial and signage use. All the weights of Amazing Slab, as well as the matching true italics forms, feature an extended character set of over 900 glyphs, covering 211 languages using Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek alphabets, and sporting a complete set of OpenType features including positional numbers, annotation and case-sensitive forms, standard ligatures, and a wide array of stylistic sets to customize glyph shapes for logo and display usage.

With its friendly, energetic mood and its versatile range of application use, Amazing Slab is born to make every design project look simply amazing.
