Slab Square Pohy 4 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Athletico Clean' and 'Collegium' by GRIN3 (Nowak), 'Field House' by Komet & Flicker, 'Drunk College' by Woodcutter, and 'Hockeynight Serif' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy slab-serif with a distinctly squared and chamfered construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves are often interpreted as faceted octagonal forms, giving rounds like O/C/G and the numerals a clipped, engineered feel. Serifs are block-like and largely unbracketed, with strong rectangular feet and tops that emphasize verticality; counters are compact and apertures are generally tight. The lowercase follows the same geometric, slabbed logic, with sturdy stems, short joins, and a tall x-height that keeps the texture dense and assertive in paragraph settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, and display copy where its condensed width and heavy slabs can command attention. It also fits sports branding and team apparel, labels, and bold signage where a sturdy, squared voice is desirable.
The overall tone reads collegiate and workmanlike, evoking varsity lettering, athletic identity systems, and utilitarian signage. Its hard corners and stout slabs project strength and authority, with a slightly retro, print-shop character rather than a sleek contemporary minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient display face with a consistent slab framework and faceted geometry, balancing legibility with an unmistakably block-built personality.
The font maintains a very consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with repeated chamfer angles that unify the set. Wide horizontal elements and compact counters create a dark color on the page, making spacing and line height especially important for comfortable reading at smaller sizes.
