Slab Contrasted Tibi 2 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Chaparral' by Adobe, 'Capital' by Fenotype, 'Capita' and 'Danton' by Hoftype, and 'Amasis' and 'Prumo Slab' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions and blocky, bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick and confident, with rounded joins and subtly softened corners that keep the mass from feeling harsh. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and several letters show compact apertures and sturdy bowls, creating a dense, poster-ready texture. Contrast is present but secondary to the overall heft, with slabs and stems working together as a unified, bold silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a bold, characterful slab can carry the message quickly. It can also support branding and logotypes that want a vintage or Western-tinged voice, especially at larger sizes and in short-to-medium runs of text.
The face reads as confident and nostalgic, evoking wood-type and old poster printing with a friendly, slightly theatrical attitude. Its chunky forms and pronounced slabs give it a hardworking, Americana-leaning flavor while staying approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif voice—combining wide, weighty letterforms and sturdy serifs for strong visibility while keeping details slightly rounded for warmth and approachability.
In text, the strong serifs and compact inner spaces create a dark, emphatic color; spacing feels geared toward display sizes where the shapes can breathe. Numerals follow the same robust, squared-off logic, matching the letterforms for cohesive headlines and short statements.
