Sans Normal Yirib 12 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Grange' and 'Grange Rough' by Device, 'Chubbet Distended' by Emboss, 'Murs Gothic' by Kobuzan, 'PG Gothique' by Paulo Goode, and 'Nu Sans' by Typecalism Foundryline (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with chunky proportions and softly squared corners. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but the outlines show an intentionally irregular, inked texture that creates a rough edge and slightly uneven contours. Counters are compact and sometimes pinch in, giving letters a dense, stamped look, while the overall rhythm remains steady and highly legible at display sizes. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with minimal modulation and a consistent, squat feel across the set; figures match the same bold, blunt construction.
Best suited for short to medium-length display copy where the texture can be appreciated: posters, large headlines, labels, packaging, and brand marks with a handcrafted or vintage-printed feel. It can also work for signage and punchy social graphics, especially when high contrast and personality are desired.
The texture and weight give the face a tactile, handmade energy—somewhere between rubber-stamp grit and vintage print wear. It reads friendly and approachable rather than precise, with a lively, slightly mischievous tone suited to bold, attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward rounded sans structure with a deliberately distressed, inked edge to evoke analog printing and handmade stamping. It prioritizes impact and character over crisp neutrality, while maintaining clear, familiar letterforms for quick reading.
The rough perimeter is consistent across glyphs, suggesting a deliberate distressed treatment rather than random noise. Round letters (like O/C/G) keep a strong circular core, while straight-sided forms (like E/F/H/N) stay blocky and stable, reinforcing an overall poster-like solidity.
