It seems that Google is testing new fonts in AdSense text ads. Starting yesterday, I'm seeing ads using the "Slabo" font family, a narrow, slab serif typeface. This font family isn't available in the AdSense font options, though.

I'm seeing that too. It sure looks "weird" since I've never used a font even close to that.

Definitely, I think I've seen three different ones today, a couple of them looked pretty good, pity I have virtually zero traffic!

Since Wednesday, I've yet to see a normal "optimal" font- just the Slabo. Which looks fantastic next to my minimalist designed site- not!

Slabo - Yep, that's one of the ones I'm seeing, I have no idea about font names, useless I am!
