Slab Contrasted Pimu 6 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Boton' by Berthold, 'Ciutadella Slab' by Emtype Foundry, 'DilleniaUPC' by Microsoft Corporation, and 'Heptal' and 'Pentay Slab' by deFharo (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slab-serif design with broad, rectangular serifs and subtly bracketed joins that soften the transitions into the stems. The letterforms are compact and strongly built, with rounded inner bowls and a steady, even rhythm across words. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are full and weighty, while horizontals and serifs read as firm platforms, giving the face a grounded silhouette. Numerals are similarly bold and straightforward, with large counters and clear, block-like construction suited to display sizing.
This style performs best in headlines, posters, and prominent titling where its bold slabs can establish hierarchy quickly. It also suits sports branding, badges, and packaging labels that benefit from a strong, traditional voice. For longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes where the heavy weight and compact spacing can breathe.
The overall tone is assertive and classic, evoking vintage headline typography and campus or athletic branding. Its dense color and emphatic serifs communicate authority and solidity, making text feel anchored and confident rather than delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif presence with maximum impact: strong verticals, supportive serifs, and familiar proportions that feel both timeless and attention-grabbing. It aims to balance sturdy display power with enough conventional structure to remain readable in short blocks of copy.
In the sample text, the font maintains strong word-shape clarity despite its mass, with punctuation and capitals holding their presence at larger sizes. The lowercase shows a familiar, readable structure with sturdy terminals, supporting short passages while still reading primarily as a display-oriented slab.
