This makes sense!

From the Wikipedia entry:
Quote:
In typography, a slab serif (also called mechanistic, square serif, antique or Egyptian) typeface is a type of serif typeface characterized by thick, block-like serifs. Serif terminals may be either blunt and angular (Rockwell), or rounded (Courier). Slab serifs were invented in and most popular during the nineteenth century.

Excellent fonts and thank you for editing these for better usage for the ereader devices! I hope you make a comeback soon enough to edit and add some more fonts!
