Slab Square Pogu 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Collegium' by GRIN3 (Nowak), 'Dasport' by Pandeka Studio, 'Collegeblock 2' by Sharkshock, and 'Winner' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display face with blocky slab-like feet and flat, squared terminals. Strokes are consistently thick and mostly monolinear, with sharp chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Capitals have a tall, compressed stance, while the lowercase follows a similarly condensed rhythm with sturdy stems and simplified curves.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence is needed—posters, headlines, storefront signage, product packaging, and bold wordmarks. It works particularly well for thematic applications (Western, heritage, craft, industrial) and for short phrases where the compact, dense texture can read cleanly.
The overall tone reads bold and no-nonsense, with strong associations to Western posters, saloon signage, and vintage industrial labeling. Its chiseled corners and squared endings give it a tough, engineered feel that communicates confidence and tradition more than delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to echo classic wood-type and engraved sign lettering, using squared slabs and chamfered corners to create a durable, stamped look. Its condensed proportions and heavy color aim for maximum impact in titles and branding while maintaining a consistent, utilitarian rhythm across letters and figures.
The numerals and caps share the same clipped-corner vocabulary, helping the set feel cohesive in headlines and short bursts of text. The heavy weight and tight internal space suggest it will prefer larger sizes and sufficient tracking for best clarity.
