Slab Contrasted Osga 6 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Heyday' by Hemphill Type, 'Extra Old' and 'Golden Record' by Mans Greback, 'Trade Gothic Display' by Monotype, and 'Burgs' by Putracetol (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy slab-serif with sturdy, block-like construction and confident, squared terminals. Serifs are broad and emphatic with subtle bracketing, while bowls and curves stay full and rounded, keeping counters relatively open for the weight. Strokes read mostly even, with a touch of contrast showing up where verticals dominate and slabs thicken the horizontals. The lowercase is compact and strong with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders; the overall rhythm is tight and dense, built for impact rather than delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a strong typographic voice is needed. It also works well for logotypes and short subheads, particularly in contexts aiming for a vintage, utilitarian, or Americana-inspired feel.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking vintage industrial printing and old poster typography. Its chunky slabs and dense color give it a grounded, workwear character that can feel both traditional and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif vocabulary: wide slabs, compact proportions, and a dense typographic color that reads quickly at display sizes. It prioritizes strength and recognizability, suggesting use in advertising, labeling, and bold editorial titling.
The numerals and capitals appear especially weighty and stable, contributing to a strong baseline and a solid “printed” texture in paragraphs. Large sizes emphasize its stout details and slab endings, while small sizes may require generous spacing to avoid dark clumping.
