<p>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.</p> <p>This is the Roboto Slab family, which can be used alongside the normal <a href="http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto">Roboto</a> family and the <a href="http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto+Condensed">Roboto Condensed</a> family.</p>
