Slab Square Sudap 4 is a bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Weekly' by Los Andes, 'Isento Slab' by Monotype, 'Pepi/Rudi' by Suitcase Type Foundry, and 'Kettering 105' by Talbot Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted slab-serif with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. Serifs are prominent and mostly squared-off, with subtle bracketing and occasional wedge-like joins that create a carved, punchy silhouette. Curves are rounded but supported by flat terminals and firm horizontals, giving counters a compact, enclosed feel. Overall spacing and rhythm are steady, with slightly irregular stroke transitions and small interior notches that add texture at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where its slabs and slant can project impact. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, especially where a retro or collegiate flavor is desired, but the heavy texture is likely to feel dense in long small-size text.
The face reads confident and energetic, with a sporty, headline-ready presence. Its italic slant and chunky slabs push it toward an action-oriented, vintage-advertising tone rather than a quiet, bookish one. The overall impression is bold and brash in a controlled, editorial way.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, attention-grabbing italic slab style that stays legible while emphasizing mass and momentum. It balances squared terminals and sturdy slabs with softened curves to remain friendly enough for branding, while still reading as emphatic and display-led.
In the sample text, the strong serifs and dense joins produce a dark color and pronounced word shapes, while the slant adds forward motion. Diagonals and curved letters maintain a consistent heft, and the numerals match the same blocky, sign-like construction for cohesive titling.
