Sans Normal Imbid 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Linotte' by JCFonts, 'Mohr Rounded' by Latinotype, 'Qualion Round' by ROHH, and 'Volkswagen Serial' by SoftMaker (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with inflated, pillow-like forms and generously softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with smooth, continuous curves and minimal angularity; joins tend to be blunted and terminals read as fully rounded. Counters are relatively small for the weight, giving letters a dense, compact texture, while overall spacing stays open enough to keep shapes from clogging in display sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey construction where applicable and a general reliance on circular bowls and stubby arms, producing a cohesive, bubble-driven silhouette across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding moments where warmth and visibility are priorities—such as posters, playful packaging, kids-oriented materials, stickers, and friendly logo wordmarks. It can also work for social graphics and attention-grabbing UI banners, while longer text is better limited to short bursts due to the dense counters.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a toy-like softness that feels humorous and lighthearted. Its chunky rhythm and rounded geometry lean toward casual, kid-friendly communication rather than formal or technical messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, rounded voice: a display sans that prioritizes approachability, charm, and bold readability over fine detail. Its consistent, bubbly construction suggests a goal of creating an easygoing, cartoon-leaning personality for modern, informal branding.
The face maintains a consistent “soft block” rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase, creating strong word shapes at large sizes. Numerals match the same inflated geometry, reinforcing a unified, poster-ready texture. The extreme weight and tight internal apertures suggest it will read best when given generous size and breathing room, especially in longer lines.
