Author's note

Zil Semi Slab by Igor Fonseca is a free semi-slab serif with massive proportions and a punchy industrial character. Broad curves, blunt slab endings, and tight joins make the lettering look sturdy, compact, and slightly unconventional.

Its retro machine-shop flavor makes it a strong fit for music posters, workwear graphics, and automotive merchandise. The dense shapes also suit food packaging and event signage with an informal, hard-wearing attitude. In branding, the unusual mix of rounded forms and squared details can give a brewery, garage, or streetwear label a recognizable emblem-like identity.
