Typography has been around for Centuries if not Millennia. It has played a major role in communication and a world without type can be extremely hard to comprehend. Ever since the first letter was punched, typography has advanced significantly. There are now a number of different styles and fonts to choose from, that almost anyone can use on their website or magazine/book. The type of style I will be looking at today is Slab Serif. I have recently noticed a increase in popularity in this style so I thought I would collect a few of my favorite fonts and typefaces and share them with you today.

As Christmas draws closer, I thought I would give a few things away to my awesome readers! Today, I have decided to give away a copy of the infamous Smashing Book produced by the guys over at Smashing Magazine and written by the design community. A paperbook book filled with 313 pages of web design goodness.
