April Font Showcase: Slab Serifs

Posted on April 19, 2012 by admin

This month we are showcasing some of our favorite “slab-serif” fonts. We like a good serif font, but we love a good slab serif!

A slab serif typeface is a type of serif typeface characterized by thick, block-like serifs. Serifs are semi-structural details on the ends of some of the strokes that make up letters and symbols. On a slab serif, the serifs may be either angular (like Rockwell), or rounded (like Courier). Slab serif typefaces generally have no bracket connecting the strokes to the serifs. Because of their bold appearance, they are most commonly used in large headlines and advertisements but are seldom used in body text.

We believe slab serif fonts are a more modern version of serifs and we love to use them in the heder tests of our designs. Here are a few of our favorites.
