Sans Normal Nyrav 6 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Lydia Sans' by Craceltype, 'Ariana Pro' and 'Natom Pro' by Mostardesign, and 'Neurath' by René Bieder (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with rounded terminals and broadly circular bowls that read as friendly and constructed. Strokes are consistently thick, with smooth curves and a slightly softened, almost “molded” edge treatment that reduces sharpness even on diagonal joins. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, creating a dense, poster-like color on the page. The forms favor simple geometry—clean circles in O/0 and sturdy, blocky stems—paired with slightly quirky details like the curved foot on the uppercase J and the single-storey a and g.
Best suited to display settings where bold shapes and strong contrast against the background are needed—headlines, posters, storefront graphics, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when used at sufficiently large sizes, where the compact counters remain clear. Extended body text is less ideal due to the dense texture and tight apertures.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a bold, toy-like solidity that feels modern yet nods to mid-century and pop display lettering. Its rounded geometry gives it a warm, informal voice, while the dense weight and compact counters add confidence and impact. The result is energetic and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, high-impact display voice built from simple geometric primitives. It emphasizes roundness, solidity, and quick recognizability, suggesting a focus on bold branding and attention-first typography rather than delicate reading comfort.
The numerals share the same rounded, geometric construction, with an 8 that is notably full and symmetrical and a 1 that is simplified and vertical. In text, the heavy weight produces strong word shapes and benefits from generous sizing; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and counters can visually fill in. The overall rhythm is steady and uniform, prioritizing bold silhouette recognition over fine internal detail.
