Slab Square Hyhu 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Blame Sport' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Outright' by Sohel Studio, and 'Hockeynight Serif' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built slab serif with an octagonal, chamfered construction and flat, square-ended terminals. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with crisp inside counters and small rectangular notches that emphasize a cut-out, stencil-like rhythm in many letters. Uppercase forms are tall and assertive with wide shoulders on H/M/N and a chunky, squared bowl structure in letters like B/D/P/R. Lowercase is similarly robust with compact apertures and short ascenders/descenders, keeping a tight, solid texture in text. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, producing a strong, sign-painting feel across the set.
Best suited for display use such as posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, and bold packaging titles where the chunky slabs and faceted corners can be appreciated. It can also support sports and event branding, labels, and badge-like compositions where a sturdy, high-impact voice is needed.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking Western signage, varsity/athletic lettering, and industrial labeling. Its faceted corners and squared slabs add a rugged, workmanlike character that reads as vintage and utilitarian rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a carved, hard-edged slab-serif look that references traditional sign lettering and athletic display types. Its consistent geometric chamfers and squared terminals suggest an emphasis on reproducible, emblematic shapes for branding and large-format typography.
The design relies on repeated cut-ins and chamfers to create internal rhythm and prevent large ink traps from closing at display sizes. Counters tend to be rectangular and relatively small, so the face performs best when given ample size and breathing room in layout.
