Sans Normal Ohbov 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hando' by Eko Bimantara, 'Neufile Grotesk' by Halbfett, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, 'Aether' and 'Makking' by Sryga, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth, continuous curves and minimal modulation, producing solid silhouettes. The uppercase forms feel geometric and stable, with generous bowl shapes (B, D, O) and a straightforward, high-clarity construction; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and decisive. Lowercase is similarly robust and simple, with a single-storey “a” and “g,” short joins, and a generally compact, no-nonsense rhythm; apertures tend to be tight, and terminals are blunt rather than tapered.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and branding where dense black weight and rounded geometry can carry a message quickly. It also works well for packaging and attention-grabbing UI moments (hero banners, section headers), especially when a friendly but forceful voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and high-impact while staying approachable due to the rounded construction. It reads as contemporary and energetic, with a poster-ready presence that feels practical rather than decorative. Overall it conveys friendliness and strength—more “bold headline” than “quiet text.”
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, contemporary sans structure, pairing sturdy geometry with rounded shapes for approachability. It prioritizes instant legibility and visual punch in display contexts over delicate detail.
The numerals match the same sturdy, rounded logic and appear designed for strong recognition at display sizes. Spacing in the samples looks balanced for big settings, while the dense counters suggest extra care may be needed at very small sizes or in reversed-out applications.
