About the Roboto Slab font
Roboto Slab is a serif typeface designed by Christian Robertson, first released to Google Fonts on April 2013. It ships with 9 weights · variable and is licenced under the SIL Open Font License, which permits commercial use in websites, apps, documents and print without attribution or payment.
Its measured character is a medium x-height at 74% of the cap height, normal letter forms and low stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Roboto Slab against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Roboto Slab is the face in a screenshot you have? Run it through the free font identifier, or browse the full library of 1,935 open-source fonts for something with a similar feel.
