Remove ads
Zilla Slab is a free to use, open source slab serif font commissioned by the Mozilla Foundation[2] as a part of their rebranding process from mid-2016 to 2017.[3][4][5] It was created in 2017 by Peter Biľak and Nikola Djurek,[2] typeface designers for the Typotheque foundry. It is inspired by the Tesla Slab font,[6][2] also originally designed by Typotheque. Its variant, Zilla Slab Highlight, features a unique ligature in its bold weight, where the character sequence "mozilla" will turn into "moz://a", purposely intended for using the stylized Mozilla wordmark.[2]
