Sans Normal Omriz 2 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Institut' by Brownfox, 'Chromatic Mono' by Colophon Foundry, 'Centra Mono' by Monotype, and 'Antikor' by Taner Ardali (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, monolinear sans with clearly monospaced spacing and a broad set width. Letterforms are built from geometric strokes with softened corners and generous, uniform stroke weight, producing dark, steady texture in text. Curves are simple and robust (notably in C, G, O, and the bowls of b/p/q), while joins and terminals are mostly squared off for a practical, engineered feel. The lowercase uses a single-storey a and g, with straightforward, open counters and minimal modulation, maintaining consistent rhythm across lines.
Well-suited to interfaces and settings where fixed-width alignment is important, such as code, terminal-style UI, tables, and dashboards. Its dense, dark color also works for labels, packaging, wayfinding, and bold headline treatments where legibility and consistency matter more than delicacy.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and technical, with a sturdy, no-nonsense presence reminiscent of industrial labeling and classic terminal or typewriter-era pragmatism. Its heavy color and regular cadence suggest confidence and clarity over finesse, giving it a slightly retro, workmanlike character.
The design appears intended to provide a monospaced, highly legible workhorse with strong presence, prioritizing even spacing, clear character differentiation, and durable shapes that hold up in demanding, information-forward contexts.
The numerals match the same robust geometry; the slashed zero is prominent for quick differentiation in dense information. The uppercase I uses strong horizontal bars, and punctuation in the sample text reads clearly at display sizes, reinforcing the font’s emphasis on unambiguous forms.
