Slab Contrasted Fuma 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dolmengi' by Ask Foundry, 'Kondolar' by Cadson Demak, 'DIN Next Slab' by Monotype, 'Fenomen Slab' by Signature Type Foundry, 'Palo Slab' by TypeUnion, and 'Museo Slab' and 'Museo Slab Rounded' by exljbris (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-driven slab serif with broad proportions and squared-off terminals. Serifs are prominent and mostly unbracketed-to-lightly bracketed, creating a strong horizontal footing, while bowls and counters stay relatively open for the weight. The stroke modulation is subtle but present in places, giving a slightly more sculpted feel than a purely monoline slab. Corners are generally crisp with occasional soft rounding at joins, producing a dense, stable texture in words and a very dark overall color.
Best suited for display settings where maximum impact is needed: headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and signage. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the dense color and heavy serifs make it less appropriate for long-form text at smaller sizes.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a clear retro print flavor reminiscent of posters, newspaper headlines, and vintage signage. Its mass and emphatic serifs project confidence and solidity, while the rounded interior shaping keeps it from feeling overly harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a classic slab-serif voice—combining stout letterforms and decisive serifs to create a reliable, attention-forward presence across display applications.
The uppercase reads especially monumental, with wide shoulders and strong slab feet that hold lines together tightly. Numerals match the headline weight and carry the same sturdy geometry, supporting bold, attention-grabbing typographic hierarchy.
