Sans Normal Niduz 2 is a bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Akzidenz-Grotesk' and 'Akzidenz-Grotesk W1G' by Berthold, 'Belle Sans' by Park Street Studio, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, 'Radiate Sans' by Studio Sun, and 'Allumi Std' by Typofonderie (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, expansive sans with broad letterforms and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes are monolinear with smooth curves and clean terminals, producing large counters and clear interior space in letters like O, P, and R. The drawing balances geometric structure with subtly softened joins and corners, keeping forms crisp without feeling sharp. Lowercase shapes are straightforward and highly legible, with open apertures and a sturdy, even rhythm that holds together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, banners, and large-format typography where its wide proportions can breathe and its heavy strokes can carry impact. It also fits branding systems that need a bold, modern voice—such as packaging, signage, and promotional graphics—especially when short phrases or single words need to stand out.
The overall tone is contemporary and assertive, with a friendly openness that avoids looking technical or sterile. Its width and weight create an energetic, attention-grabbing presence suited to bold messaging while still reading approachable and stable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a clear, modern sans structure: wide, sturdy shapes, open interiors, and a consistent, low-detail construction that stays readable while projecting confidence.
Round letters feel broadly elliptical rather than perfectly circular, reinforcing the wide stance. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read strong and steady, and the numerals are similarly wide and simplified for quick recognition in headlines and interface callouts.
