Adagio is a modern type family. It consists of 3 main varieties: sans, serif and slab. Each one of them has it’s own true italic set. All of the styles together have over 400 characters in 9 different thicknesses.

It has the same contrast as Sans. In distinction of Adagio Serif, Slab contains strong, beamy and symmetrical serifs in the form of pillows.
Thanks to large X length, and highly stretched descenders, it also works correct in longer text, while its strong detail is good for headlines.
Slab version is a great complement for Adagio Serif and Adagio Sans.

When the original Aaux was introduced in 2002, I intended to go back and expand the family to offer more versatility. Years went by before I was willing to pick it up again and invest the proper time into building a viable and useful recut.
