Sans Normal Manay 2 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Enotria' by Aspro Type, 'Refrankt' by Groteskly Yours, 'Murs Gothic' by Kobuzan, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, wide sans with rounded geometry and subtly softened corners that keeps strokes feeling solid rather than sharp. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls (notably in O/C/G) with relatively tight counters, while straight strokes remain thick and steady, giving an even, blocky texture. Terminals tend toward horizontal or gently squared endings, and joins are clean and uncomplicated, producing a strong, uniform silhouette. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with broad forms and clear, simple interiors.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other high-impact display settings where its width and weight can be used for presence. It can also work for branding, logos, packaging, and short callouts where a friendly, energetic tone is desired; for longer passages it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, projecting a friendly, slightly retro energy. Its wide proportions and rounded shapes read as playful and confident, making it feel more like a display voice than a restrained utilitarian text face.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with an approachable, rounded voice—combining sturdy, simplified construction with wide proportions for attention-grabbing display typography.
The typeface creates a dark, assertive color on the page, with spacing that supports large-scale impact. The round letters (O/Q/0/8) emphasize a soft, inflated look, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay sturdy and wide, reinforcing a poster-like rhythm.
