Sans Normal Ofkug 14 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Prelo Condensed' by Monotype, 'Aaux Next Cond' by Positype, 'Lyu Lin' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Artico' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with uniform stroke weight and squared-off terminals. Curves are broadly rounded and slightly squared in feel, creating sturdy counters and a dense overall texture. The proportions are condensed, with short extenders and tightly built letterforms; round letters (O, C, G) read as tall ovals, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) are rigid and blocky. Numerals and lowercase are similarly weighty, producing a consistently dark, even rhythm in running text.
Well-suited to headlines, short bursts of copy, and display settings where a compact width and strong impact are useful. It can work effectively in branding, packaging, and signage that needs confident presence and efficient horizontal spacing; for longer text, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes with adequate line spacing.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an efficient, space-saving presence. Its condensed heaviness gives it a modern, industrial flavor that feels practical and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or expressive.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal space, prioritizing bold silhouettes, consistent stroke strength, and a clean geometric structure. The condensed build suggests an emphasis on fitting more characters per line while maintaining a strong, contemporary voice.
Apertures tend to be relatively closed (notably in letters like a, e, and s), which increases solidity and makes words look compact and unified. The strong weight and tight internal spaces emphasize silhouettes over fine detail, especially at smaller sizes.
