Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are largely geometric.
At the same time, the font features friendly and open curves. While some grotesks distort their
letterforms to force a rigid rhythm, Roboto doesn’t compromise, allowing letters to be settled
into their natural width. This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in
humanist and serif types.
This is the Roboto Slab family, which can be used alongside the normal Roboto family and the
Roboto Condensed family.
