Sans Normal Pekep 9 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Boldstrom' by Sharkshock, 'LFT Etica' by TypeTogether, 'Boulder' by Umka Type, and 'Coco Gothic Pro' and 'Eastman Grotesque' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and large counters. Strokes are consistently thick with soft, blunted terminals and gently curved joins, producing a compact, almost “puffy” silhouette rather than crisp geometric edges. The lowercase has a prominent x-height with simple, sturdy forms; bowls and apertures lean toward closed shapes, and punctuation appears blocky and square-cut. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the overall chunky rhythm and strong texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and punchy brand marks where strong silhouette recognition matters. It can also work for short bursts of copy (labels, callouts, signage) when set with generous spacing and adequate size.
The font projects a cheerful, approachable tone with a slightly retro, cartoon-like energy. Its dense black presence feels confident and fun, prioritizing personality and impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with rounded, friendly shapes that stay legible and cohesive under very heavy weight. It aims for an approachable, characterful display voice that feels modern yet nostalgic.
Because many internal openings are relatively tight and shapes are strongly filled-in, the face reads best at medium-to-large sizes where counters and joins have room to breathe. The overall rhythm is energetic and headline-oriented, with a deliberately chunky cadence across words.
