Sans Normal Libar 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cambridge' by AVP, 'Delargo DT' and 'Elisar DT' by DTP Types, 'Camphor' and 'Morandi' by Monotype, and 'Monsal Gothic' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and a strong rightward slant. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly straight-cut, producing crisp edges and a solid, blocklike silhouette. Curves are broad and rounded (notably in C, O, S, and numerals), while diagonal joins in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y feel tight and engineered. Counters are relatively small for the weight, boosting color and impact, and the overall rhythm reads dense and forward-leaning in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, brand marks, and packaging where bold oblique emphasis is desirable. It can also work for sports and event graphics, promotional materials, and large-format UI moments (buttons, banners) where a strong directional cue helps draw attention.
The font projects speed and force, combining a sporty, action-oriented tone with a clean contemporary finish. Its heavy presence and pronounced slant give it an urgent, headline-first attitude that feels confident and attention-seeking without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a clean sans framework, using a consistent oblique stance and sturdy geometry to convey motion and confidence. It prioritizes strong word shapes and dense typographic color for display use rather than delicate detail.
Uppercase forms are wide-shouldered and stable, while lowercase shapes keep simple, single-storey constructions where applicable, reinforcing a straightforward, functional feel. Numerals are similarly robust, with round figures staying full and dark and angled figures emphasizing the slanted momentum. The oblique angle is consistent across the set, helping words read as a cohesive, forward-driving unit.
