Slab serif fonts vary considerably: some such as Rockwell have a geometric design with minimal variation in stroke width—they are sometimes described as sans-serif fonts with added serifs. Others such as those of the "Clarendon" model have a structure more like most other serif fonts, though with larger and more obvious serifs.
These include chiseled, stenciled, semi-rounded, dotted, prisma, railed, and slab-serif versions. Some variants have two optical sizes: "display" for large and "text" for small text. The letters in the "text" size have larger apertures and more generous letter-spacing than in the "display" size.
