Sans Normal Afdeg 2 is a bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Basis Grotesque Mono' by Colophon Foundry, 'Rational TW' by René Bieder, and 'Fonetika Mono' by Tokotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, right-slanted sans with monospaced rhythm and broad, squared-off construction. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, with rounded curves kept tight and terminals generally blunt, giving letters a compact, machined feel. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall set reads stable and dense, with clear, consistent widths across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
It works well where a strong, monospaced voice is desirable—code snippets, terminal-style interfaces, dashboards, and compact labels. The dark weight and slant also make it effective for short headlines, technical posters, and assertive branding accents where clarity at a distance matters more than delicate detail.
The overall tone is functional and no-nonsense, evoking technical labeling and industrial signage rather than expressive handwriting. The slant adds momentum and urgency, while the dense black color gives it a confident, high-impact presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern monospaced sans that stays highly uniform and space-disciplined while adding speed through an oblique angle. It prioritizes solidity, consistency, and a technical texture suitable for contemporary digital and industrial contexts.
The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey forms and a straightforward, engineered look; punctuation and numerals follow the same sturdy, uniform approach, supporting a consistent typographic color in continuous text. The combination of slant and fixed-width spacing creates a distinctive, slightly “coded” texture in paragraphs.
