Sans Normal Opkoy 1 is a bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Imago W1G' by Berthold, 'Cynosure' by Device, 'Clinica Pro' by Mint Type, 'Founder' by Serebryakov, and 'Boring Sans' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded curve behavior. Strokes are consistently thick with clean, squared terminals, and curves feel smooth rather than calligraphic. Counters are relatively compact in letters like B, P, R, and a, while rounds such as O and 0 read as slightly squared-off ovals, giving a sturdy, engineered look. The lowercase is simple and two-storey forms are avoided where possible, with a single-storey a and g, plus a short-armed r and a compact s that maintains clarity at size.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where a strong, modern sans is needed. Its wide stance and dense texture also work well for signage and packaging that must remain legible at a glance, and for short UI labels when sufficient size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is assertive and straightforward, with a contemporary, utilitarian voice. Its broad stance and dense color convey confidence and impact, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, modern typography with a clean geometric structure and minimal stylistic distraction. It prioritizes strong presence, quick readability, and an even rhythm in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
In the sample text, the weight creates a strong typographic “block” that holds together well across lines. Distinctions between similar shapes are handled through geometry (e.g., O vs 0, I vs l), though the overall compactness of counters suggests better performance at display sizes than at very small settings.
