Slab Square Popo 11 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Beau's Varsity' by Beau Williamson, 'Athletico' and 'Athletico Clean' by GRIN3 (Nowak), 'Hockeynight Serif' by XTOPH, and 'Winner' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared counters and flat terminals throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with crisp right angles and chamfered corners that create a faceted, cut-from-solid feel. Serifs read as bold rectangular feet and caps, producing a compact rhythm and strong horizontal emphasis. Several joins and interior corners show small notches and cut-ins that resemble ink-trap or stencil-like detailing, helping keep tight apertures from filling in at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where impact and texture matter: posters, headlines, branding marks, labels, and signage. It also works well for short bursts of copy on packaging or merchandise where a rugged, retro-industrial tone is desired.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking vintage signage, wood-type posters, and industrial labeling. Its angular geometry and chunky serifs give it a no-nonsense, confident voice with a hint of frontier and sports-lettering energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and a sturdy, square-built texture, borrowing cues from traditional slab-serif display and wood-type traditions while adding sharp, notched detailing to preserve clarity in tight, bold forms.
The overall silhouette is square and condensed-feeling in many glyphs, with tight internal spaces and short extenders that keep lines visually dense. The numerals match the caps’ blunt, carved geometry, and the lowercase maintains the same blocky construction for a consistent, headline-first texture.
