Sans Normal Tukes 2 is a very bold, wide, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'PC Gothic' by BA Graphics, 'Bologna' by David Turner, 'Chakai' and 'Jazmín' by Latinotype, and 'Blacker Sans Pro' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from thick, confident strokes with rounded joins and smooth, swollen curves that give counters a teardrop/oval feel. The forms read as largely monoline in the straights but with noticeable contrast created by tapered terminals and sharp internal cut-ins, producing a chiseled, ink-trap-like bite in several letters. Proportions are generous and sturdy, with broad bowls and strong verticals; spacing is tight and the overall texture is dense and poster-ready. Numerals and capitals share the same heavy, simplified construction, with large, open curves and emphatic diagonals that keep the silhouette crisp at large sizes.
It performs best where strong typographic presence is needed: headlines, posters, title cards, branding lockups, and packaging. The dense color and sculpted counters make it particularly effective for short bursts of text, signage, and punchy promotional copy at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and assertive without feeling harsh, thanks to the rounded geometry and friendly curves. It suggests contemporary display use—energetic, attention-grabbing, and slightly playful—while still maintaining a clean, orderly rhythm that feels purposeful and controlled.
The likely intent is a modern, high-impact display face that balances softness and strength—using rounded construction for approachability while relying on sculpted terminals and reinforced shapes to remain clear at heavy weight.
The design leans on sculpted negative space: counters and apertures are shaped to stay readable under heavy weight, and many terminals end in subtle wedges rather than blunt cuts. This creates a distinctive, carved look that adds character in headlines while preserving clarity in short phrases.
