Thin Slab Serif & Stencil font-Editorial

nickmix10 January 2008 · 07:47

I'm looking for a new slab serif that has some extremely thin weights and some heavier weights for a headline font. Are there any good new ones floating around now that have not been used to bits?

Its for a mens magazine, so I am looking for something that doesn't feel dainty. Ideally I'm looking for something geometric. I've included two samples of one treatment I'd use with the font, making a stencil out of it. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

thanks, this could be very interesting. Was also looking at Soho by Sebastian Lester. Both good options. But have just realized British GQ uses Soho a lot.

best,
