Sans Normal Jaliz 1 is a bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Grozen Medical' by Bring To Type, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, and 'Ordina' by Schriftlabor (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy geometric sans with wide proportions and a compact, assertive rhythm. Strokes are monolinear with squared terminals and softly rounded outer corners, giving forms a machined, molded feel rather than a sharp, blade-like one. Counters are relatively tight, apertures are controlled, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and 8) read as smooth ellipses with disciplined spacing. The overall color on the page is dense and even, with sturdy verticals and broad horizontals that favor impact over delicacy.
Best suited to display settings where weight and width are assets: headlines, posters, branding systems, packaging, and short-impact messaging. It also works well for signage and bold UI moments (labels, hero banners) where strong presence and quick recognition matter more than airy text flow.
The tone is confident and high-energy, leaning industrial and tech-adjacent. Its broad stance and dense letterforms suggest strength and momentum, making it feel at home in competitive, performance-oriented, or engineered contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and clarity through broad geometry, even stroke weight, and tightly managed counters. Its softened corners and consistent curves aim to keep the voice approachable while still reading as engineered and powerful.
Lowercase forms maintain the same compact, sturdy construction as the capitals, with a single-storey a and g and short extenders that reinforce the font’s blocky silhouette. Numerals are similarly wide and robust, with rounded bowls and stable baselines that keep strings of figures visually level and emphatic.
