Slab Contrasted Ulha 3 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Aman' by Blaze Type, 'FF More' by FontFont, 'LinoLetter' by Linotype, and 'PT Serif Pro' by ParaType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions and strongly squared construction. Serifs are prominent and mostly bracketed, with wedge-like shaping on several joins and terminals that gives the forms a carved, stamped feel rather than a purely geometric one. Strokes show clear but not extreme contrast, and the counters stay open despite the weight. Round letters (O, C, Q) read as sturdy and slightly squarish in their curves, while straight-sided forms (H, N, E) emphasize a stable, architectural rhythm. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a thick, squared t that keeps the texture dense and assertive.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a dense, forceful slab-serif voice is desired. It can also work well for packaging, signage, and sports or collegiate-style graphics that benefit from wide, emphatic letterforms and strong serifs.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, combining a workmanlike slab-serif backbone with a slightly nostalgic, print-forward character. It feels authoritative and attention-grabbing, with an old-school, poster-and-headline sensibility that reads as both practical and punchy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact while maintaining a familiar slab-serif structure, blending editorial authority with a vintage display flavor. Its wide stance and prominent serifs suggest an aim toward bold titling and logo use rather than delicate text settings.
In the sample text the color is dark and even, creating a tight, high-impact paragraph texture that favors display sizes. The numerals match the same sturdy slab logic and appear built for strong presence in headings and labels.
