Dobra Slab is a very geometric and robust typeface specially suited for magazines and newspapers, although it works great as a corporate typeface. The black weight is powerful and crisp, yet still retains some of the subtle tapering apparent in the lighter weights. There is also a sans serif companion family available called simply: Dobra.With five weights ranging from Light to Black with matching italic, available in both styles this highly readable typeface is full of OpenType features such as Small Caps, Tabular Figures, Central Europe characters and Historical Figures, among others.
