Zilla Slab is a free to use, open source slab serif font commissioned by the Mozilla Foundation as a part of their rebranding process from mid-2016 to 2017. It was created in 2017 by Peter Biľak and Nikola Djurek, typeface designers for the Typotheque foundry. It is inspired by the Tesla Slab font, 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.
As of February 21, 2018, Ohio University started using Zilla Slab as their secondary font of choice.
