Dehjuti /de.'hju:.ti:/, predominantly based off Dwiggin’s Electra, with shades of Palatino, is a modern and stately slab serif. Like its inspirer, it has broad counters and spacing, which temper it and give it warmth, making it comfortable and well-suited for longer texts. It is balanced in all aspects, from its punctuation to its reference marks and symbols. Its design takes into consideration all extra characters for languages that few fonts support, such as African and First Nation. These extra characters, such as Edh, Esh, Gamma, Ezh, Yogh, the pharyngeal fricatives, the click consonants, which have added capital versions, the glottal stops, et cetera, actually look like they belong, as opposed to being afterthoughts. The italic incorporates a touch of Arrighi. It includes all transcription systems relevant to the Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek alphabets, as well as standard Coptic, plus extra characters for Teuthonista and First Nation. It also includes, to list a few, Egyptian-styled pictographs (where applicable), APL, virtually all mathematical symbols and arrows, and a ton of extra characters in the Private Use Area for African, First Nation, and lesser known languages, to be used with programs lacking open type technology. Note: Dehjuti has three variants: Regular Cyrillic, Bulgarian (B) Cyrillic, and Macedonian/Serbian (MS) Cyrillic.

Download Calamity Wayne Font Family From explogos
Calamity Wayne is a reverse-contrast slab serif, inspired by the ‘wild west’ French Clarendons (aka Italians or Egyptians) of the late-1800s.
Despite the idiosyncrasies that make it ideal for display and headline uses, it is also surprisingly legible in text settings.
Calamity Wayne supports Latin, Cyrillic and Greek, and is available in OTF and TTF formats.
Acknowledgement: I am very grateful to David Jonathan Ross (https://djr.com) for his support and encouragement.

Download Constant Font Family From Underscore
Constant is a meticulously constructed slab serif display typeface of a sturdy lineage. The strong horizontal and vertical rhythm and calculated angles dominate its appearance, yet sweeping broad shapes infuse the design with an overall warm undertone.
Constant is best suited for setting short headlines, word marks, posters and other visual communication ephemera. Particular when set in all uppercase the typeface’s squarish and resolute nature commands attention and projects authority. Despite the prominent slab serifs and their angular corner details, these fonts work well also for shorter text passages, especially in the lighter to medium weights. When typesetting Constant in paragraphs spanning several lines the face requires a fair amount of leading to not appear vertically compressed.
As customary for Underscore’s catalog the fonts have very extensive support for languages in the Latin script, reaching from Afrikaans to Vietnamese and Zulu. The fonts are carefully spaced, kerned and hinted, and include a variety of typographic glyphs and OpenType features like various ligatures, number features and case alternatives.
Constant has been developed and released in 2018 as the proud forth release from the Underscore label. This design by Johannes Neumeier is available from the Underscore webshop as well as selected retailers.
