Sans Normal Uhgil 4 is a bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad' by Adobe, 'Mero' and 'Mero Thai' by Deltatype, 'Milliard' by René Bieder, 'Gelder Sans' by The Northern Block, and 'Aksen' by Tokotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, clean sans with rounded, geometric construction and clearly controlled curves. Bowls and counters are broadly open (notably in O, C, e, and 8), while straighter stems and diagonals keep the overall rhythm firm and stable. Terminals are mostly flat and straightforward, with only subtle rounding from the overall soft geometry. Proportions lean broad and sturdy, producing a dense, even color in text while maintaining clear interior shapes.
Best suited to display use where impact and clarity matter: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and wayfinding. The sturdy shapes and open counters also make it effective for short paragraphs or UI labels at larger sizes where a strong typographic voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded forms and generous counters. It reads as practical and confident rather than delicate or expressive, giving headlines a solid, dependable presence.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans that prioritizes strong presence and legibility through geometric rounds, open counters, and consistent, uncluttered detailing. Its broad proportions and steady rhythm suggest a focus on high-impact communication across branding and display contexts.
Uppercase shapes feel strongly geometric (round O/Q, broad C/G) with consistent stroke logic across the set. The lowercase shows simple, workmanlike forms with clear differentiation between similar letters (for example i/j with square dots, and a single-storey a). Numerals are robust and highly readable, with the 0 and 8 particularly round and prominent.
