Definition:

Slab Serif, a sub-classification of the Modern style, is a font with serifs that are square and larger, bolder than serifs of previous typestyles. One of the sub-categories of the Slab Serifs is the Typewriter font.

Just as the name suggests, these are slab serif fonts that mimic the look of type from both manual and electric typewriters. They are typically monospaced although they can also be proportionally spaced fonts. Some typewriter fonts are designed to be slightly distressed or grungy like the sometimes messy type from an old manual typewriter.
