Sans Normal Libud 17 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mayberry' by Ascender, 'Telder HT Pro' by Huerta Tipográfica, 'Famiar' by Mans Greback, 'Acto' by Monotype, and 'PF Centro Sans Pro' by Parachute (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense shapes with compact counters and a strong, continuous color across words. Curves are built from smooth, circular geometry (notably in O/C/G/Q and the lowercase bowls), while joins and terminals are clean and slightly blunted rather than sharp. The numerals follow the same robust construction, with clear silhouettes and a consistent slant that keeps the set visually cohesive.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, and bold branding where the dense weight and slanted rhythm can do the work. It also fits energetic contexts like sports, entertainment, packaging, and promotional graphics, especially when used at medium to large sizes where the rounded forms and compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with a sporty, attention-grabbing presence. Its rounded geometry and blunt terminals keep it friendly and approachable, while the strong weight and slant add urgency and momentum. The result feels contemporary and promotional rather than formal or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, modern sans voice—combining strong weight, forward slant, and rounded construction to create a dynamic display tool for branding and promotional typography.
The uppercase reads as blocky and assertive with relatively tight interior space, while the lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel (e.g., a and g) that supports fast recognition at display sizes. The oblique angle is consistent across letters and figures, giving lines of text a forward-leaning rhythm and a compact, headline-oriented texture.
