Sans Normal Yojo 4 is a very bold, narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bellfort Draw' by GRIN3 (Nowak), 'Miguel De Northern' by Graphicxell, and 'MC Granko' by Maulana Creative (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with blunt terminals and visibly distressed edges. Strokes are thick and compact, but the contours are irregular, with rough, chipped outlines that mimic ink spread or worn stamping. Counters are relatively small and often uneven, creating a dense, dark typographic color. Round letters like O and C read as slightly squarish-oval forms, and overall widths vary modestly by character, reinforcing an analog, hand-pressed feel.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, packaging labels, album art, and merchandise graphics where the worn texture is a feature. It also works for short callouts and badges where a stamped or screen-printed impression is desired.
The texture and irregularity give the face a gritty, DIY tone that feels industrial and street-level rather than polished. It suggests urgency and toughness, with a tactile, printed-on-paper character that reads loud and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans structure while adding a deliberately degraded surface, evoking letterpress, rubber stamp, or screen-print wear. The goal is strong impact with an imperfect, tactile finish rather than smooth geometric precision.
The distressing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with random-looking nicks and rough vertical edges that remain legible at display sizes. The compact proportions and tight internal space make it visually strong but potentially heavy in longer passages, especially at smaller sizes where the texture can merge.
