Sans Normal Osgij 3 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad' by Adobe, 'Copperplate New' by Caron twice, 'Point Panther' by Sarid Ezra, and 'Foundry Journal' by The Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is a heavy, rounded sans with broad bowls and softened joins that keep the forms feeling substantial rather than sharp. Curves are generous and nearly circular in characters like C, O, and G, while straight strokes end in subtly tapered or angled terminals that add a slight chiseled rhythm. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and the lowercase shows sturdy, simple constructions with single-storey a and g, a compact t, and a balanced, upright stance across the set. Numerals match the same robust, rounded build, producing a consistent, poster-ready texture.
It works best for headlines, short statements, and identity applications where impact and warmth are needed—such as packaging, signage, and bold brand marks. It is especially effective in large-scale settings where its rounded forms and heavy strokes can be appreciated without the counters closing up.
The overall tone is confident and upbeat, with a slightly vintage, display-oriented presence. Its rounded mass and softened edges make it feel approachable and friendly, while the strong weight keeps it loud and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded geometry, combining geometric curves with subtly sculpted terminals to add personality while maintaining a clean sans structure.
In text, the dense color and compact internal spaces create a strong gray value that reads best at larger sizes. The angled/tapered terminals on several letters introduce a distinctive, somewhat carved look that differentiates it from purely geometric rounds.
