Where slabs beat the alternatives
Choose a slab when a sans feels too neutral and a classic serif too soft. They hold up on rough surfaces and in low-quality printing because the thick serifs survive ink spread, which makes them a good fit for packaging, signage and merchandise. Keep spacing slightly open; slabs are wide by nature and crowding them turns a headline into a wall.
Slab Serif Fonts: common questions
- What is a slab serif?
- A serif typeface whose serifs are thick rectangular blocks roughly the same weight as the main strokes, rather than thin tapered finishes.
- Are slab serifs good for body text?
- The lighter, evenly drawn ones are. Heavy slabs are display faces and tire the eye in paragraphs.
- What suits a slab serif in a pairing?
- A humanist sans for body text, or a casual script if the project wants warmth. Two slabs together rarely work.
