Slab Contrasted Timy 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Sybilla Multiverse' and 'Sybilla Pro' by Karandash, 'TheSerif' by LucasFonts, and 'LFT Etica Sheriff' by TypeTogether (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-forward slab serif with compact proportions and emphatic, squarish terminals. Stems are straight and sturdy, while many joins and corners are subtly chamfered, creating a carved, faceted look rather than purely geometric rectangles. Serifs read as thick slabs with slight bracketing and occasional wedge-like shaping, giving the outlines a workmanlike, stamped quality. Counters are relatively tight and forms stay upright and stable; the lowercase shows a distinctly sturdy, traditional structure with a single-storey “a” and simplified, robust bowls.
Best suited to display typography where weight and texture can lead: headlines, posters, labels, and signage that benefit from a rugged, vintage presence. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a sturdy, crafted voice, especially when set with generous spacing and simple supporting type.
The overall tone is strong and no-nonsense, with a rugged, vintage flavor that recalls posters, signage, and utilitarian print. The notched detailing and chunky slabs add a crafted, frontier-meets-industrial character that feels confident and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive chiseled slab-serif personality, combining stout construction with subtle faceting to suggest heritage, craftsmanship, and durability.
The design emphasizes silhouette clarity at display sizes, with bold interior shapes and minimal delicacy. Numerals and capitals maintain the same carved/block rhythm, supporting short, impactful settings and headline-driven compositions.
