RoundslabSerif

RoundslabSerif, by Manfred Klein, is a free rounded slab serif with a sturdy, old-style newspaper feel. The letters pair broad, blocky serifs with soft curves and generous bowls, so the alphabet feels firm but not severe; that tension gives it a warm, slightly retro voice.

It fits book jackets, pub and café branding, editorial headlines, poster titles, and packaging where you want serif lettering with some weight and friendliness. As a free font, it also works well for short cover lines, monograms, and title cards, because those chunky serifs and rounded forms hold a strong silhouette in just a few letters.
