Slab Square Kami 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'AZ Varsity' by Artist of Design, 'Ghost Town' by Comicraft, 'Ranch Land JNL' and 'Westward JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Buffalo Circus' and 'Buffalo Western' by Kustomtype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display face built from broad vertical stems and short, squared slabs that read like clipped serifs and terminals. Forms are mostly rectilinear with rounded interior corners and frequent notches at joins and apertures, creating a chiseled, stamped look. Counters are compact and openings stay relatively tight, while the uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent, upright rhythm with strong vertical emphasis. Figures follow the same chunky construction, with squared shoulders and simplified bowls that hold their shape at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster titles, storefront or wayfinding signage, and product labels where strong silhouettes matter. It can also work for logo wordmarks and badge-style graphics, particularly in themes that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-industrial or western-leaning voice.
The overall tone feels assertive and workmanlike, with a frontier poster and old-printing character. The cut-in notches and squared slabs add a rugged, slightly weathered flavor, suggesting signage, packaging, and bold headline settings rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact width, combining slab-like terminals with squared, cut-in detailing to create a distinctive display texture. Its sturdy construction and consistent vertical rhythm prioritize recognizability and poster-level presence over subtlety or long-form comfort.
The texture on a line is dense and dark, and the narrow set amplifies impact in limited horizontal space. Distinctive internal cutouts and stepped terminals give letters a recognizable silhouette, especially in capitals, but the tight apertures suggest it will read best when given generous size and some breathing room in tracking and leading.
