Sans Normal Ligas 14 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad', 'Myriad Bengali', and 'Myriad Devanagari' by Adobe; 'Agent Sans' by Positype; and 'Monsal Gothic' and 'NuOrder' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy oblique sans with broad, smooth strokes and rounded outer contours. Curves are clean and geometric, with relatively uniform stroke weight and a firm forward slant throughout. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and terminals are mostly blunt with subtly softened corners. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), a short-armed r, and a compact, steady rhythm; figures are sturdy and simple, with rounded bowls (0,8,9) and more angular diagonals (4,7). Overall spacing reads slightly tight, reinforcing a dense, impactful texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where impact and motion are desirable: headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short bursts of copy—taglines, pull quotes, and UI labels—where a compact, high-energy emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, combining a bold presence with a streamlined, contemporary feel. The consistent slant and compact massing create a sense of speed and forward motion, giving the face a sporty, action-oriented voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with an inherent sense of speed, pairing geometric roundness with a pronounced slant for immediate attention and strong brand presence.
Diagonal joins and angled cut-ins are especially prominent in letters like N, M, K, and the lowercase k, which enhances the dynamic feel. The italic angle is strong enough to be a primary stylistic trait rather than a subtle emphasis style.
