Sans Normal Yidah 1 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Artegra Sans' and 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra; 'Loew', 'Loew Next', and 'Loew Next Arabic' by The Northern Block; and 'Helios Antique' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and relatively even, but the outlines are deliberately irregular, showing a dry-brush/inked texture with ragged edges and slightly bumpy contours. Counters are open and generous for the weight, while joins and terminals stay blunt and simplified, producing sturdy silhouettes. Spacing feels roomy and steady in running text, with small variations in character widths that enhance the handmade rhythm.
This font works best where high visual impact and a handmade texture are desirable: posters, bold editorial headlines, album or event graphics, packaging, and badge-style logos. It can also add character to short UI headings or social graphics, but its rough edges are most effective at display sizes rather than extended small-text reading.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a worn, analog roughness that reads as crafted rather than mechanical. It projects an informal, slightly retro poster sensibility—energetic, friendly, and a bit gritty—well suited to expressive, human-forward messaging.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a rounded sans with the personality of imperfect, inked lettering. By keeping forms simple and weighty while introducing consistent edge texture, it aims to feel both legible and artisanal, evoking printed or stamped signage.
Round letters like O, Q, and 8 show the strongest texture along the outer contour, while straight-sided forms like E, F, and T keep a blocky, sign-painter feel. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with simple shapes and minimal detailing, helping maintain impact at larger sizes.
