Slab Contrasted Suhe 2 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Alianza' by Corradine Fonts, 'Vitesse' by Hoefler & Co., 'Certo' by Monotype, and 'Quadon' by René Bieder (names referenced only for comparison).

The design is built from heavy, squared-off strokes with prominent slab serifs and compact internal counters that emphasize solidity. Curves are broad and controlled, while joins and terminals tend toward blunt, blocky finishes. The overall rhythm reads dense and emphatic, with crisp silhouettes and enough stroke modulation to keep large text from feeling completely monolithic.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, posters, and packaging where strong presence is needed. It will also work well for logos, badges, and sports or event graphics that benefit from a tough, high-contrast silhouette. In longer passages it can become visually dense, so it’s more effective for short bursts of copy than extended body text.
This font projects a confident, no-nonsense voice with a classic, poster-ready heft. Its chunky forms and sturdy slab serifs give it a workmanlike, Americana-leaning tone that feels assertive and slightly nostalgic rather than delicate or refined.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and hold their shape at large sizes, using strong slabs and weighty stems to create a stable, attention-grabbing texture. The slightly traditional slab-serif construction suggests an intention to evoke established, heritage-inflected signage and print typography while remaining straightforward and legible.
The numerals share the same sturdy, block-like construction as the letters, maintaining a consistent, punchy texture. The lowercase shows simplified, robust shapes that keep the overall color uniform, reinforcing the font’s emphasis on weight and stability.
