Sans Normal Bolaf 7 is a regular weight, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'SK Ilke Mono' by Salih Kizilkaya and 'Antikor' by Taner Ardali (names referenced only for comparison).

A monospaced sans with uniform stroke weight and compact, squared-off curves that keep counters open and legible. Forms are built from simple geometric primitives—straight stems, broad bowls, and rounded corners—with minimal modulation. Uppercase shapes read sturdy and architectural, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with single-storey a and g and a compact, looped e. Numerals are clear and evenly spaced; the slashed zero is prominent for disambiguation in code-like contexts.
Well suited to programming environments, terminals, and any interface where alignment matters—tables, forms, and tabular readouts. It also works for technical documentation, captions, and UI labeling where consistent spacing and clear differentiation between similar characters are important.
The overall tone is practical and instrument-like, prioritizing clarity over personality. It feels contemporary and no-nonsense, with a subtle industrial flavor that suits structured, data-forward communication.
The design appears intended as a highly legible, monospaced workhorse with a geometric, simplified construction. Its emphasis on consistent widths, open counters, and easily distinguished glyphs suggests a focus on precise reading in structured or code-adjacent settings.
Rhythm is highly regular due to fixed character widths, producing an orderly texture in paragraphs and dense lines. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, and joins stay simple, which helps maintain clarity at smaller sizes and in repetitive strings (IDs, tables, logs).
