Slab Square Poso 4 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AZ Varsity' by Artist of Design, 'Rama Slab' by Dharma Type, 'Akkordeon Slab' by Emtype Foundry, 'Gravtrac' by Typodermic, and 'Winner' and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed slab with flat terminals and crisp, chamfered corners that give many glyphs an octagonal, poster-cut silhouette. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as squared blocks rather than bracketed forms, reinforcing a rigid, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and apertures stay tight, while diagonals and joins are simplified into straight segments that keep the overall texture dense and strongly gridded.
Best suited to display work such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and bold labels where condensed width and dense texture help maximize impact. It also fits signage, logotypes, and packaging that want a sturdy, vintage-tinged slab presence and strong, blocky numerals.
The font projects a bold, workmanlike tone with a distinctly old-style display flavor—part western poster, part industrial signage. Its sharp corner cuts and stout slabs create an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that feels rugged and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in tight horizontal space while retaining a classic slab serif backbone. Its chamfered geometry and square terminals suggest a deliberate nod to poster wood type and utilitarian lettering, optimized for bold, high-contrast layouts rather than extended text reading.
Uppercase forms are especially architectural, with clipped corners on C/G/S and a hexagonal feel in O/Q. Lowercase maintains the same squared logic and compact counters, which increases color and impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same blocky construction, suited to headline settings where uniform weight and strong presence are more important than delicate detail.
