Roots

When Finador Sans was released, Julien Fincker couldn’t get rid of the feeling that he wasn’t finished yet. Something was missing, something with more expression, an opponent with the same character. So he took the designs of Finador and started to sketch. Line contrasts, classic antiqua serifs, none of them really matched the original character. But one thing seemed to work well at first glance. A little more line contrast together with thick slab serifs. The thick serifs with rounded corners complemented the overall look of Finador perfectly. So the starting signal for the Finador Slab was given.

Legibility

The lighter and heavier weights are particularly suitable for headlines, while the middle weights can be used for typographic challenges and body text. A large x-height and slight contrast provide a high level of typographic legibility.
