Design

Lens Counter Slab up close

Lens Counter Slab sets upright, dense black letters on blunt rectangular slabs. The O is its clearest signature: a horizontal stroke divides the round body into separate white openings above and below, and the lowercase o repeats that feature. The R holds a pointed eye in its upper bowl before dropping a firm diagonal leg. D stays familiar, with a conventional rounded opening. Broad W and sturdy H keep a line of capitals weighty and steady. The heavy, even strokes give short copy a grounded editorial feel, while the barred round letters add a distinctive rhythm.

Lens Counter Slab in use

  • OPEN HOUSE

    Poster. Heavy upright capitals read quickly from a distance, while the barred O gives the announcement a memorable shape.
  • ROASTED OATS

    Product label. Square slabs and dense strokes keep the product name firm and legible on a compact printed label.
  • WORLD ATLAS

    Book or album cover. The barred O and pointed opening in R distinguish a brief title without weakening its solid silhouette.

How this page was made. Lens Counter 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 Lens Counter Slab

Its x-height is 69.9% of the cap height, near the 69.6% typical of serif fonts in the library, taller than 28 of the 52 other serif fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 5.1% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 31.5% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 42 of the 52 other serif fonts. Its letters are of average width for serif fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 86% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 95.2%), within 2.5% of the median. The o is close to a circle, 0.99 times as wide as it is tall, and W is the widest capital, at 1.14 times the width of H. Round letters overshoot: O rises 2.4% of the cap height above H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, leaning less than 2.5° either way. Vertical stems measure 23.1% of the cap height, heavier than 44 of the 45 other serif fonts. Ink covers 47.1% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 47 of the 52 other serif fonts.

Its 148 characters include 105 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 53 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 11.7% 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 Lens Counter 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 14, 2026, 53 of them serif fonts.

Structure
Upright medium-width solid slab serif with unbracketed rectangular slabs and one consistent horizontal lens counter system. In every closed bowl and loop—B, P, R, D, O, Q, b, d, p, q, a, e and g—the white counter is a broad almond-like horizontal lens with pointed but open left and right ends, made by the surrounding continuous black strokes; it is not an inset icon, stripe, outline or hollow effect. A has a clear apex and crossbar; a is double-storey; e remains recognizably open; k has a conventional fork; N has a clear diagonal; g has a true descender; 1 keeps an ordinary top flag and baseline slab
Stroke
Solid black, moderately heavy even strokes; fixed cap height, x-height, baseline, ascenders and descenders. No detached ornaments
