Slab Square Hite 10 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Choplin' by René Bieder, 'Pepi/Rudi' by Suitcase Type Foundry, and 'Huemul Slab' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and strongly rectangular construction. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast, and the slabs end in flat, square terminals that read as firm and architectural. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), while corners and joins stay blunt and substantial, producing compact internal counters at text sizes. The lowercase shows single‑storey forms for a and g and a sturdy, stem-led rhythm; numerals are similarly hefty and geometric, with clear, wide silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where impact and sturdiness are desired—headlines, posters, signage, and bold branding marks. It can work for short bursts of copy on packaging or editorial callouts, but extended paragraphs will benefit from generous tracking and leading due to the heavy color.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting strength and reliability with a distinctly retro, print-forward feel. Its chunky slabs and broad footprints lend a familiar, Americana/collegiate energy while still reading as pragmatic and industrial.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a solid slab-serif backbone: wide, blocky letterforms, firm terminals, and a consistent, low-contrast stroke system aimed at loud, durable communication.
In the sample text, the dense strokes and tight counters make the texture feel dark and emphatic, especially in longer lines. The large serifs help maintain letter identity, but the weight and compact apertures suggest it will perform best when given adequate size and spacing.
