Austral Slab is a hand-drawn layered type family. It is casual, robust, and spirited. It is monolinear in spirit, despite having irregular stems that give the fonts an eroded effect (particularly exaggerated in the Medium styles). It was originally released in 2016, and in 2024 updated with version 2.000 that includes a new weight distribution and clean no-textured fonts, major updates on glyph support, OpenType features, corrections on the design of specific characters, and more.

Austral Slab has three sets of alphabets that slightly differ. These sequentially alternate to avoid repeating the same textured letterforms, having a more realistic irregular result. The Contextual Alternates feature is available in all the styles of this type family.
