Slab Contrasted Subi 13 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Majora' and 'Majora Pro' by Latinotype, 'PF Centro Slab Pro' by Parachute, and 'Mislab Std' by Typofonderie (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, thick stems, and firmly planted, rectangular serifs that read as subtly bracketed at joins. The stroke contrast is noticeable but controlled, with round bowls and counters kept relatively tight, creating a dense, poster-ready texture. Terminals are squared and emphatic, and several junctions show small cut-ins or ink-trap-like notches that help open up dark areas at interior corners. The overall rhythm is steady and bold, with consistent verticals and a slightly compressed internal space that reinforces its solid, built-from-blocks feel.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a strong, high-contrast silhouette is needed. It also fits branding that benefits from a rugged, established voice—such as sports identities, product labels, and editorial display callouts—especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The font projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly vintage, letterpress-adjacent flavor. Its mass and sturdy slabs suggest reliability and authority, while the subtle corner shaping adds a practical, industrial character rather than a refined, delicate one.
This design appears intended as a bold display slab that maximizes impact and legibility through thick stems, wide proportions, and sturdy serifs. The corner detailing and controlled contrast suggest an aim to maintain clarity in heavy settings while preserving a classic, industrial display personality.
In continuous text the weight creates strong word shapes and pronounced punctuation, but the dense color can dominate at smaller sizes. The numerals and capitals feel cut from the same robust system, maintaining a uniform, emphatic presence suited to short, high-impact settings.
