Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Zero Slab.
The word is set in mixed case, which is the useful test for a slab sold as a text-friendly geometric: the bowls of the o and the a are broad and circular, the feet are square and small, and the waist is tall, so the face reads as modern rather than as a typewriter. The oversized Z behind the lettering is staging that explains the face's name and gives the sheet a graphic structure, and the credit at the lower right is small and plain. Because the strokes are light and the feet are small, the face works at text sizes as well as in a heading, and the plate shows it at a size where the feet and the joins are visible. The charcoal ground with pale type is a two-colour pairing that keeps the light strokes legible.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Zero Slab’s stroke geometry.
Mark for an architecture practice
A light geometric slab reads as precision, and the square feet keep a short name crisp on both a business card and a site hoarding.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the mark at 17 pt on a card, 90 mm on a hoarding and 11 pt in a footer, keeping the light cut only above 13 pt. Keep one colour and clear space equal to the cap height.
Pre-production check
Check the 11 pt footer on uncoated paper, where a light stroke can break; use a regular cut at that size. Confirm the hoarding reads at ten metres and that the feet stay square.
Interior for a technical manual
A geometric slab sets a manual in a voice that is precise without being cold, and the broad bowls keep a dense page readable.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A4 interior: the body at 10 pt with 14.5 pt leading, the headings at 20 pt, and 70 characters per line. Print one ink on a cream stock with 22 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Check a full page at 10 pt, where a light slab can look thin; keep the leading at 14.5 pt. Confirm the headings stay distinct and that the running head reads at 7.5 pt.
Notice for a design course
A geometric slab reads as designed rather than default, and the light weight keeps a long notice from shouting in a corridor.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A3 print: the headline at 60 mm cap height, the times in a 20 mm slab, and the room at 10 mm. Keep 25 mm margins and print one colour on a light sheet.
Pre-production check
Check the A3 at three metres, where light strokes can fade; keep them above 2 mm. Confirm the 10 mm room reads at arm's length and that the headline fits the sheet.
