Sans Normal Woken 10 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Akzidenz-Grotesk Next' by Berthold, 'Chubbét' by Emboss, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, and 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and subtly irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with low contrast, and curves are broad and bulbous, producing closed counters that feel cozy rather than crisp. Terminals are blunt and slightly uneven, and the overall texture reads intentionally imperfect, with gentle wobble in straight stems and edges. The uppercase is compact and blocky, while the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), reinforcing a casual, approachable rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, packaging, labels, and display headlines where its chunky, playful voice can lead. It also works well for kid-oriented materials, casual branding, and bold signage, especially when generous spacing and sizes help keep counters clear.
The font projects a cheerful, homemade energy—more craft and personality than precision. Its chunky shapes and soft rounding suggest a lighthearted, slightly retro tone that can feel humorous, kid-friendly, and approachable without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver an energetic display sans with a hand-made, slightly imperfect finish. By combining very heavy weight with rounded, softened shapes, it aims for warmth and humor while staying simple enough to set whole phrases and punchy statements.
At text sizes the dense weight creates a strong, dark color on the page, and some counters and joins can feel tight in letters like a, e, s, and 8. Numerals are bold and friendly with rounded geometry, matching the informal, cut-paper vibe seen across the alphabet.
