Sans Normal Nomor 16 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Galvani' by Hoftype, 'Breno' by Monotype, and 'Olivine' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large, open counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly square-cut, creating a crisp, blocky rhythm despite the rounded bowls. Curves are built from near-circular forms (notably in O/C/G), while joins and diagonals stay clean and decisive; the overall spacing reads generous and steady at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography where mass and width can do the work: headlines, posters, brand marks, and short, emphatic messaging. It can also perform well in signage and packaging where quick recognition and strong silhouette matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, with a contemporary, no-nonsense presence. Its round construction keeps it approachable, while the dense weight and wide stance give it an attention-grabbing, poster-like energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a clean, geometric construction—combining bold, rounded forms for friendliness with firm, squared terminals for authority. It prioritizes strong word shapes and high presence in display contexts.
The uppercase feels particularly substantial and stable, and the numerals match the same chunky, geometric construction for cohesive headline use. The lowercase maintains clarity with simple, single-storey shapes (e.g., a, g) that reinforce an informal, contemporary feel.
