Slate (typeface) - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slate

Category	Sans-serif
Classification	Neo-grotesque
Designer(s)	Rod McDonald
Foundry	Monotype
Date created	2006
Shown here	OnePlus Slate

Slate is a neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface designed by Rod McDonald at Monotype Corporation in 2006, which was designed for high levels of legibility.

McDonald previously did research with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) focusing on maximizing the legibility of characters and readability of text, and the Slate family was designed for maximum legibility for both print and screen. The Slate family was also designed to be humanist, and as McDonald says "I didn't want a face with an 'engineered' look, or with any noticeable design gimmicks or devices."^[1]
