Sans Normal Nibud 11 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Boutros Angham' by Boutros, 'Aspira' by Durotype, 'JAF Domus Titling' by Just Another Foundry, and 'Schnebel Sans ME' and 'Schnebel Sans Pro' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and broad, open counters. Letterforms lean on simple geometric curves but introduce deliberate irregularity: stems and bowls subtly wobble, terminals vary in angle, and several glyphs show slight baseline and cap-height jitter. The stroke weight stays consistent with minimal contrast, while proportions are expansive and roomy, producing strong silhouettes and generous internal space. Overall spacing feels lively and uneven in a controlled way, reinforcing a hand-cut, poster-like rhythm rather than strict modular precision.
Best suited to display contexts where personality is the goal: posters, packaging, labels, playful branding, and short headline copy. It can also work for children’s or entertainment-oriented materials, where the bouncy texture adds charm, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading where the irregular rhythm may become distracting.
The font projects a cheerful, slightly mischievous tone—more handmade than corporate. Its buoyant rhythm and chunky shapes read as approachable and humorous, with a retro display energy that feels at home in casual, character-driven messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display sans that blends geometric roundness with a purposely imperfect, hand-made feel. The goal seems to be strong impact at large sizes while maintaining approachability and a casual, humorous character.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rounded, softened construction, with single-story forms and simplified joins that emphasize clarity at large sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to match the headline-forward texture. The intentional irregularity becomes more noticeable in longer lines of text, where the lively wobble turns into a distinctive voice.
