Sans Normal Imbom 3 is a very bold, wide, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Frankfurter' by ITC, 'Corkboard JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Frankfurter SB' and 'Frankfurter SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, and 'Aristotelica Pro' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with monoline strokes and generously softened corners throughout. Forms are built from bulbous curves and thick, uniform stems, with compact counters and small apertures that create a dense, punchy texture. Terminals are consistently rounded and blunt, and diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) read as cushioned wedges rather than sharp joins. Numerals mirror the same inflated geometry, with closed bowls and simplified construction for a cohesive, display-forward look.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and brand marks where its rounded mass can carry personality at larger sizes. It works well for playful packaging, event posters, children-oriented materials, and bold UI accents such as badges or callouts.
The overall tone is warm, playful, and slightly nostalgic, leaning into a toy-like, cartoon softness. Its inflated silhouettes and friendly curves suggest approachability and humor, while the dense weight adds confidence and loudness suitable for attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum friendliness and impact through inflated, rounded shapes and uniform stroke weight. It prioritizes a cohesive, graphic silhouette and high immediacy over fine-detail readability, making it a strong choice for expressive display typography.
Spacing appears comfortable for display settings, but the small apertures and tight counters make the texture feel solid and dark in longer text. Round dots and simplified details (notably on i/j and the numerals) reinforce the font’s graphic, logo-ready character.
