Slowglass is a geometric semi-serif typeface accompanied by flamboyant geohumanist italics. Slightly defiant wedge serifs and wide stance are balanced with softly rounded strokes for an overall friendly tone. Stylistic alternates include text forms for increased legibility as well as unicase variants partly inspired by uncial scripts, available both as font features and in complementary font subfamilies: Slowglass Alt and Slowglass Text. With over 1500 glyphs per weight, the fonts support 80+ Latin-based languages including Vietnamese, 14 Cyrillic-based languages and polytonic Greek.
