Glance Slab
Glance Slab is an experimental design at the intersection of connection and detachment. Gaps between strokes create a stencil-like effect in large sizes. In small sizes, they work like ink traps. 8 weights + italics, 730 glyphs, and instant recognizability make the new 2024 version ideal for branding. It goes together perfectly with Glance Sans.

Glance Slab – Design Information
Glance Slab is an experimental design that plays on the tension between connection and detachment. It has been thoroughly updated in 2024 with italics, an extended character set any many more features.
In this typeface, serifs may be detached and some strokes may not connect to their stems. This creates a dynamic impression of balance and movement. The elegance of an ice skater and the determination of a quarterback: Glance Sans has it all.
Where a curve meets a stem and where serifs seem to "hover" near their respective letters, the non-joining elements create an impression similar to a stencil typeface. But here, the function of the gaps differs from strictly stencil designs: while the gaps provide a "sparkling" effect in Glance Slab that's clearly visible in large sizes, they take on the role of ink traps when set smaller, making for surprisingly legible body copy.
With its strong visual character, this font family is quickly recognizable, making it perfectly suitable for branding and any large-scale application, such as posters, billboards, and event signage.
This latest version of Glance Slab consists of eight weights from Thin to Black (gaining an additional weight) and is fully equipped with all-new italics. The glyph count has been bumped from 570 to 730 glyphs, which includes circled numbers and arrows (positive and negative versions), ligatures, and Latin Plus language support. The new Stylistic Set 01 transforms the typeface into an "Extreme Stencil" face. Be sure to try it!
