Sans Normal Tylob 3 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Proza' by Bureau Roffa, 'City Boys' and 'City Boys Soft' by Dharma Type, 'Charpentier Sans Pro' by Ingo, 'Hisham' by Linotype, and 'MarkusLow' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with broad proportions, rounded interior curves, and generally blunt, squared-off terminals. Stroke weight is strong and consistent, with subtly softened corners that keep forms from feeling purely geometric. Counters are relatively tight, and joins in letters like K, M, N, and W read as sturdy and blocky rather than delicate. The lowercase shows single‑storey a and g, a simple, vertical i/j with round dots, and a short-armed t, reinforcing a utilitarian, display-first rhythm.
This style is well suited to headlines and short statements where strong, confident shapes are an asset—posters, packaging, branding marks, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for punchy UI labels or social graphics when set with generous spacing to prevent counters from closing in.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly nostalgic, poster-era solidity. Its chunky silhouettes and soft rounding feel energetic and informal, leaning more toward friendly impact than precision or restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly voice: big, sturdy letterforms with softened geometry that stay readable and charismatic in display contexts.
Round letters (O, Q) are closer to oval than perfect circles, and the Q’s tail is prominent, giving the capitals a distinctive silhouette. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, built to hold up at large sizes where shape and spacing dominate.
