Slab Contrasted Gyhi 6 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Brokolino Display' by Aspro Type, 'FF Kievit Slab' by FontFont, 'Amasis' by Monotype, and 'Gazeta Slab' by Vanarchiv (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, blocky serifs that read as soft-edged rather than sharp. Strokes are thick with noticeable (but not delicate) contrast, and joins/corners tend to round off into slightly bulbous terminals, giving the letterforms a cushioned, carved look. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, while apertures remain open enough to keep forms like C, S, and e from clogging. Overall rhythm is sturdy and deliberate, with a subtly irregular, hand-set poster texture created by the rounded modeling and uneven interior spacing.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and storefront or event signage where its chunky slabs and soft modeling can be appreciated. It can also work for short callouts or captions when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing, but it is not optimized for long-form text at small sizes.
The font projects an upbeat, approachable vintage tone—more friendly and playful than formal. Its chunky slabs and softened shaping evoke mid-century signage and bold editorial headlines, conveying confidence and warmth with a hint of whimsy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, retro display voice—combining stout slab serifs with rounded shaping to stay bold without feeling harsh. It prioritizes recognizable silhouettes and a lively, poster-like texture over restrained neutrality.
The lowercase shows particularly rounded, personality-driven shapes (notably a, g, and r), and the numerals follow the same stout, soft-slab logic for a cohesive set. In dense settings the heavy weight compresses internal whitespace, so it reads best when given generous size and some breathing room.
