The Protest Types began as personal project by designer Octavio Pardo to reflect on the shapes and voices of protest signs. So far it spans four font families, each with a different voice. Most fonts in the collection share the same spacing and kerning.
Montagu Slab is a slab-serif display typeface designed by Florian Karsten. The typeface draws inspiration from 19th-century classic designs and it is available as a variable font with weight and optical size axes. The static version offers 7 weights with matching italics.
Besley* is a antique slab serif inspired by Robert Besley’s Clarendon. It features 6 weights and matching italics in 3 widths, along with OpenType features such as ligatures and contextual substitutions. A variable version is also available.
Hepta Slab is a slab-serif revival based on specimens of antique genre types from Bruce and Co., primarily Antique 307. The family is a variable font which consists of 10 weights with the extremes intended for display use and the middle weights for setting text. Features include lining numerals, oldstyle numerals, case sensitive punctuation, fractions, superior and inferior numerals as well as multiple stylistic alternates.
