Inspired by the fantastic entries in the FontStruct Slab Serif Gallery, here's my first attempt at a Fat Slab. It's got hard hammered edges but with soft and rounded velvety serifs.

Wow! Now do a super-condensed one! If this is your first slab, you have to be in contention for the slab king.

Slab serifs rule, and you've done a great job, Gene. I like your cap M and N... they are the real thing. :-)

Thanks everyone! Your comments are greatly appreciated. I really questioned myself on if I was constructing this properly. It was mainly through studying your entries that I developed this vicariously through observed aesthetics. I'm still a little uncertain as to what constitutes or deviates from a defining characteristic of a Slab Serif that differentiates it from a regular Serif. I thought going big would help make it more obvious. Any lessons on Slab Serification are welcomed.
