Slab Square Revu 7 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Geovano' by Grezline Studio, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, and 'MRK Maston Pro' by Marka Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy serif with chunky, slab-like feet and pronounced angular notches that give many joins and terminals a chiseled, cut-out look. Strokes stay largely monolinear and dense, with tight internal counters and blunt, squared endings that read strongly at display sizes. The letters are relatively narrow with sturdy verticals, and the serifs often show small wedge/bracket transitions rather than crisp hairlines, creating a carved, woodtype-like rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms with the same weighty, squared construction and bold silhouette.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and signage where the chunky slabs and notched details can be appreciated. It also works well for brand marks, labels, and packaging that aim for a vintage or Western retail feel. For long passages or small sizes, the dense weight and tight counters may reduce clarity.
The overall tone feels old-time, frontier-inspired, and attention-grabbing, like signage and headline wood type from print ephemera. Its dense color and notched detailing add a slightly mischievous, rough-hewn character that reads confident and loud rather than refined.
The font appears designed to emulate the impact of historic display printing—especially woodtype and poster lettering—while adding distinctive angular notches to sharpen the silhouette and amplify texture. Its intention seems focused on high visibility and a themed, nostalgic voice rather than quiet text readability.
The design’s distinctive cut-ins and squared slabs create strong texture across words, especially in mixed case, where the lowercase keeps the same muscular presence as the caps. Tight counters and heavy joins suggest it will be most effective where large sizes and generous spacing can keep the shapes from filling in.
