Part of the Alexander Girard collection, Girard Slab is based on Alexander’s lettering for a Herman Miller hang tag. The lettering design has been turned into a functional slab serif family of three widths and four weights. A titling feature turns on connections in all capital settings, paying homage to the source of the design. ⇒View more and purchase Girard Slab
