Slab Square Sire 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Esquina' and 'Esquina Rounded' by Green Type, 'Joe College NF' by Nick's Fonts, and 'Outright' by Sohel Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, flat terminals and frequent chamfered corners that give many glyphs an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick and largely uniform, with crisp right angles and minimal modulation. The serifs read as blunt rectangular slabs, creating strong horizontal emphasis and a compact, sturdy rhythm. Counters are tight and angular, and the lowercase follows the same engineered geometry, with short ascenders/descenders and squared bowls that keep the texture dense and punchy.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as sports and team identities, badges, bold editorial headlines, posters, and packaging where a strong, blocky presence is desirable. It also works well for labels and signage-style applications that benefit from sturdy, squared letterforms.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking varsity lettering, athletic branding, and vintage workwear signage. Its sharp chamfers and hard corners add a machined, industrial feel, while the slab structure keeps it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, structured slab-serif voice, combining flat terminals with chamfered corners for a distinctive, badge-like silhouette that holds up well in large, attention-grabbing typography.
At text sizes the dense color and tight internal spaces can make long passages feel heavy, but the strong silhouettes keep words recognizable. Numerals share the same cut-corner construction and feel especially suited to prominent, display-driven settings.
