Description
Roboto Slab, released in 2013, is a slab-serif typeface based on the original Roboto font. It was designed by Christian Robertson and initially used as the default font in Google Keep. The font family has four weights: Thin, Light, Regular, and Bold, with additional weights added later, including Extra-Light, Medium, Semi-Bold, Extra-Bold, and Black. Roboto Slab's design combines the clean lines of Roboto with the classic look of slab serifs, making it suitable for a variety of design contexts. The font was updated in 2019 with a variable font axis ranging from 100 to 900 and minor modifications to some characters to make them more similar to other slab-serif typefaces.
