Sans Normal Osdat 11 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Malva' by Harbor Type, 'Geller Sans' by Ludka Biniek, 'Tabac Sans' by Suitcase Type Foundry, and 'Monsal Gothic' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a compact, poster-ready silhouette. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and smooth arcs, paired with sturdy straight stems and firmly cut terminals. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single‑storey construction where applicable, with generous counters that stay open even at bold sizes. Diacritics are not shown; dots and punctuation in the sample feel solid and visually centered, supporting an overall dense but controlled texture.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It also performs well for short blocks of copy at larger sizes, such as UI hero text, marketing callouts, and editorial display captions.
The tone is bold and matter-of-fact, with a friendly clarity that reads contemporary rather than quirky. Its rounded geometry and stable rhythm give it an approachable, trustworthy voice, while the weight and width add impact and presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric voice with maximum visual impact while preserving clean, open counters for readability at display sizes. Its consistent, rounded construction suggests a focus on simplicity, sturdiness, and a contemporary, approachable character.
Spacing appears intentionally roomy for such a heavy design, helping internal shapes remain legible and preventing dark clumping in words. Numerals follow the same broad, geometric logic as the letters, matching the headline-oriented color and making mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
