Sans Normal Yigis 4 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'Trade Gothic Next' and 'Trade Gothic Next Soft Rounded' by Linotype, and 'Arial' and 'Trade Gothic Display' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans with compact proportions and blunt terminals, rendered with intentionally uneven, rough edges. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, with subtle irregularities that suggest an inked or stamped texture rather than clean vector geometry. Counters are relatively small and rounded, and many joins show slightly softened corners, giving the letterforms a chunky, blocky silhouette. The overall rhythm is tight and assertive, with occasional width variation between glyphs that adds a handmade, imperfect consistency.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, product labels, and bold callouts where the rough edge can be appreciated. It also works for branding in contexts that benefit from a tough, hands-on feel—craft goods, industrial themes, or vintage-inspired packaging—rather than continuous reading in small sizes.
The font reads bold and gritty, evoking DIY print, workshop signage, and distressed poster lettering. Its rough perimeter and dense color create a loud, tactile voice that feels utilitarian and a bit rebellious rather than refined or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a deliberately imperfect, ink-worn texture. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and condensed footprint for space-efficient impact, while the distressed edges add character and a printed, analog sensibility.
At display sizes the distressed contour becomes a key feature, while in longer lines the dense weight and narrow spacing can build a dark texture quickly. Numerals match the heavy, compact construction and maintain the same rugged edge treatment for a cohesive set.
