The Design Process

 

When Finador Sans was released, I couldn't get rid of the feeling that I wasn't quite finished with it yet. Something was missing, something with more expression, an opponent with the same character. So I took the designs of the 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, also called Egyptienne. The thick serifs with rounded corners complemented the overall look of Finador perfectly. So the starting signal for the Finador slab was given and the implementation of all characters began.

 

An essential difference between drawing serifs and sans serif typefaces is spacing and kerning. The serifs create completely different contrasts and spacing between the characters in the typeface. So the slab version has been completely redesigned from skratch.

 

Something important I would like to mention, is a bunch of talented designers betatesting my fonts and giving me really helpful feedbacks. So I would like to say thank you to Anita Jürgeleit, Vitória Neves, Marc Lohner, Moritz Kleinsorge and Johannes López Ayala. Thank you typefriends!

 

The slab version has not been spared any Open Type features either. The character set was supposed to be identical to the Sans and increased to over 900 characters thanks to alternative characters, small caps, fractions, currency symbols and much more. Thus the suitable counterpart to the Sans was created. They can be easily combined, for example as a headline (slab) and text (sans) combination. Different in expression - but the same in character. A clean finish to the Finador family.
