Introduction to Serif Fonts – Slab Serif

Historically, Serif fonts have been typically used across newspapers and book publishing, lending a more formal and polished feel to the body of work.

The Serif relates to the small details at the top or bottom of some strokes, that glide the eye across the page, allowing for greater ease of reading within a larger printed body of work.

Serif fonts are broken down into four major categories; Old Style, Transitional, Modern and Slab Serif.
