Why slabs survive rough printing
Because the serifs carry roughly the same weight as the main strokes, slabs hold their shape when ink spreads on kraft board, fabric or newsprint. That makes them a dependable choice for packaging and merchandise. Keep the letter spacing slightly open, since slabs are naturally wide, and avoid the heaviest cuts for anything longer than a headline.
Slab Serif Fonts: common questions
- What is a slab serif used for?
- Headlines, packaging, signage, sports and outdoor branding, and editorial design that wants weight without shouting.
- Can slab serifs be used for body text?
- The lighter, evenly drawn ones work well. Heavy slabs are display faces and become tiring in paragraphs.
- What pairs with a slab serif?
- A humanist sans serif for text, or a casual script if you want warmth. Avoid combining two slabs.
