Slab Square Vewi 4 is a light, very narrow, monoline, upright, short x-height font.

A tall, tightly condensed display face built from straight, rectilinear strokes with consistent line weight. Terminals end in crisp square slabs, giving the letters a bracketless, engineered finish. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, with simplified curves rendered as stepped or squared forms, producing a modular rhythm across the alphabet. The spacing reads slightly irregular by design, reinforcing a constructed, sign-like texture rather than a continuous text flow.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight but a strong vertical presence is desired—posters, headlines, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that want a schematic, constructed feel, especially when set large enough for the squared terminals and narrow counters to stay clear.
The overall tone is technical and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial edge that recalls drafting, stenciled labeling, and early digital or architectural titling. Its rigid geometry and sharp corners feel precise and controlled, projecting an analytical, machine-made personality.
The font appears designed to translate an engineered, grid-based drawing logic into a compact, high-impact display alphabet. Its squared curves and slabbed ends suggest an intention to feel functional and architectural, prioritizing a distinctive modular silhouette over conventional text readability.
The design relies on extreme verticality and compressed widths, so distinctive shapes (like the squared bowls and angular diagonals) carry recognition more than open counters. In longer lines, the condensed proportions create a dense, linear cadence; at larger sizes the square-serif details and modular construction become the main character.
