Design
Brush Shelf Slab up close
Brush Shelf Slab has upright, weighty letters with thick vertical strokes, slimmer curves, and short, level feet. The capital H anchors its stems on broad horizontal serifs, while the W spreads into sharp inner valleys. The R pairs a rounded bowl with a firm diagonal leg. In the lowercase, the double-storey a stays compact, and the g carries a clear descender below the line. Slightly angled, blunt stroke ends interrupt the otherwise square rhythm. Those details give the unconnected letters a sturdy, hand-cut feel that comes through clearly in short lines of text.

How this page was made. Brush Shelf Slab is a FontGenerator library font made with AI; before release its letters were read back one by one by independent automated checks. The design notes were written by AI from the specimen images and checked against them by a second, independent pass; every number on the page is measured from the font file.

About
About Brush Shelf Slab
The x-height is a compact 69.1% of the cap height, below the 74.3% median for display fonts, lower than 99 of the 117 other display fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (100% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 27.3% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 91 of the 117 other display fonts. Its letters are of average width for display fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 85.3% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 100.1%), within 2.1% of the median. The o is close to a circle, 1.07 times as wide as it is tall, and W is the widest capital, at 1.09 times the width of H. The O tops out level with H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.
The letters stand upright, leaning less than 2.5° either way. Vertical stems measure 24.8% of the cap height, heavier than 34 of the 59 other display fonts. Ink covers 43.6% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 65 of the 117 other display fonts. Strokes change thickness with direction: the sides of o and O are 2.1 times as thick as their tops and bottoms.
Its 326 characters include 283 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 231 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 45.9% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 11.8% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Brush Shelf Slab will not line up exactly.
Measured from the version 0.1.1 font file. Comparisons are with the 377 published library fonts measured on October 21, 2026, 118 of them display fonts.
