Roll up your sleeves! Let’s get to work with new styles of Quatro Slab from psType. Its hefty Ultra Black has been available on Typekit for a while, but the family now includes nine additional styles ranging from Regular to Ultra Black Italic. In a word, and in our demo page, Quatro Slab is strong.

  }

Quatro Slab’s massive Ultra Black is a powerful force, especially in all caps. A little letter spacing goes a long way here, and helps the big forms breathe.

Runda, also from psType, is a no-nonsense sans that works well with Quatro Slab. While their underlying stylistic rationale differs, these two faces have many structural similarities (compare their specimens), share similar proportions (their cap and x-heights, for example), and both convey a feeling of measured practicality.

Blue and green dots identifying white spaces that resonate with one another’s volume.

Just as strokes and slabs in typefaces can inspire formal aspects of a composition, counters and crevices can inspire line-height, margins, and other white space. Quatro Slab’s weighty angles and sculpted nooks offer many opportunities for finding balance.
