Sans Normal Wiguw 5 is a bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad' by Adobe, 'Elisar DT' by DTP Types, 'Avenir Next Cyrillic' by Linotype, and 'Camphor' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared curves and compact counters, giving each glyph a chunky, cut-out silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but edges show subtle wobble and unevenness that reads as hand-printed or stamped rather than mechanically drawn. Terminals are blunt and slightly irregular, with small shape quirks that vary from letter to letter while keeping an overall consistent weight and rhythm. Numerals and lowercase share the same sturdy build, with open, simplified forms intended for strong presence at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and short, high-impact statements where a friendly, handmade feel is desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and branding for artisanal goods, cafes, kids-oriented products, or casual events. Use at larger sizes to showcase the textured, hand-printed character and maintain clarity in the counters.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a crafty, DIY energy. Its slightly rough texture and imperfect outlines suggest something tactile—like ink on paper or a rubber stamp—creating a relaxed, playful voice rather than a corporate one. The bold silhouettes also give it a confident, poster-like punch.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, readable display sans with an intentionally imperfect, analog finish. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and approachable roundness, aiming for a handcrafted look that stands out without relying on decorative flourishes.
In the sample text, the dense weight and rounded shaping hold together well in short lines, but the irregular edge texture becomes more noticeable as copy gets longer. Tight internal spaces in letters like a, e, and s can darken at smaller sizes, so the design reads best when allowed enough size or spacing to breathe.
