The closest matches are editorial layouts (Typographer, Bruket Fjellhamar) rather than confirmed Roboto Slab sites. If you want, I can: - Search with a different phrase (e.g., "roboto slab tech blog documentation") - Query the corpus directly for captures that list Roboto Slab in their font usage - Look at specific site categories (startups, docs, blogs) where Roboto Slab is common Which direction would help most? --- Typographer uses **Bookmania** (Mark Simonson Studio) for its serif — applied to the h1, h2, h3 headings and the html root. Body text, nav, buttons, and footer use **Synergy** (sans-serif), and **Config Mono** handles monospace spans and inputs. Bookmania is a commercial font, not free. If you want a free alternative with a similar warm, book-style serif feel, **PT Serif** or **Source Serif 4** are the closest matches from the earlier list. --- Bookmania is by **Mark Simonson Studio**: [marksimonson.com](https://marksimonson.com)
