Slab Square Popy 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Beau's Varsity' by Beau Williamson, 'Athletico Clean' by GRIN3 (Nowak), 'Neue Aachen' by ITC, 'Letteria Pro' by Latinotype, and 'Winner' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared, flat terminals and crisp, chamfered corners that give many glyphs an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense color and strong presence. Counters are compact and often squared-off, and the serifs read as integrated extensions rather than delicate finishing strokes. Capitals are wide and commanding, while lowercase forms keep sturdy verticals and simplified joins, maintaining a uniform, punchy rhythm across text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its mass and angular detailing can read clearly at larger sizes. It also fits packaging and labels that want a bold, heritage or workshop feel, and sports/collegiate-style branding that benefits from sturdy slab structures.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking vintage Americana and utility lettering. Its chunky slabs and clipped corners project confidence and toughness, with a distinctly display-forward, headline energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, geometric slab-serif voice. By combining heavy strokes with chamfered corners and square terminals, it aims for a bold, durable look that stays legible and consistent in short text and prominent display settings.
The chamfering is a defining motif: it appears at corners, terminals, and several curve transitions (notably in C, G, O/Q, and numerals), creating a consistent “cut” aesthetic. Spacing in the sample text appears tight enough to build a solid, poster-ready texture, while the serifs help maintain clear word shapes at large sizes.
