Sans Normal Nolez 11 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Malva' by Harbor Type, 'Avenir Next Georgian' and 'Avenir Next Hebrew' by Linotype, 'Morandi' by Monotype, and 'Clarika Pro' by Wild Edge (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, continuous curves. Counters are generally open and near-circular (notably in O/o and 0), while joins and terminals stay clean and minimally shaped, producing a sturdy, uniform rhythm. The uppercase feels stable and compact in detail despite its width, and the lowercase maintains simple, single-storey forms with generous bowls and short, robust arms. Numerals follow the same rounded construction with clear silhouettes and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to display sizes where its mass and rounded geometry can carry personality—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short UI or signage phrases. It can also work for brief blocks of copy when a strong, friendly emphasis is desired, though the weight and width will dominate page color in longer text.
The overall tone is upbeat and accessible, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its soft rounding keeps the weight from feeling harsh, lending a friendly, contemporary voice that reads as straightforward and energetic.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, geometric softness—combining bold presence with approachable, rounded forms for contemporary commercial and editorial display use.
Round letters (C, G, S) show smooth curvature with minimal modulation, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are wide-set and sturdy. The punctuation in the sample appears visually calm and unobtrusive, supporting dense setting without introducing sharp, high-contrast accents.
