Slab Contrasted Tybo 1 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gimbal Egyptian' by AVP, 'Martini' by Katatrad, 'Gintona Slab' by Sudtipos, 'Kondolarge' by TypeK, and 'Cabrito' by insigne (names referenced only for comparison).

A very heavy slab serif with broad proportions, strong vertical stress, and clearly defined rectangular serifs. Strokes show noticeable contrast while maintaining a dense, blocky silhouette; counters are relatively tight, especially in round letters, which increases the ink-rich texture. Curves are robust and slightly squared-off at joins, and terminals feel blunt and engineered rather than calligraphic, producing a steady, authoritative rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, book and magazine titling, packaging, and logo or wordmark work where a solid, attention-grabbing serif is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes, section headers, and signage, especially when you want a classic, press-like texture and strong typographic presence.
This typeface conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly editorial feel. Its heavy, squared serifs and compact internal spaces give it a sturdy, emphatic voice that reads as assertive and slightly vintage, like classic print headlines and signage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in short bursts of text—titles, mastheads, and prominent labels—where a firm slab-serif structure helps anchor the letterforms. Its contrast and squared detailing suggest a deliberate blend of traditional serif cues with a more industrial, poster-ready weight.
The numerals are hefty and clear with consistent weight and slab treatment, matching the uppercase tone. Overall spacing reads generous enough for display, while the dense interiors suggest avoiding very small sizes for extended reading.
