Sans Normal Worab 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Swiss 721' by Bitstream, 'Helvetica' by Linotype, 'H Central' by MacCampus, and 'CG Triumvirate' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-rendered silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, but edges wobble subtly, creating a rough, inked texture and uneven terminals. Counters tend to be compact and slightly lopsided, with softened corners and bulbous curves that keep forms open and readable despite the dense weight. Spacing and widths vary perceptibly across glyphs, reinforcing a human, drawn rhythm rather than a strictly engineered cadence.
Best suited for display use such as posters, headlines, packaging, merch, and short callouts where the rough-edged texture can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes when a casual, handmade voice is desired, but the dense strokes and irregular edges may reduce clarity at very small text sizes.
The font conveys an informal, approachable tone with a mildly gritty, DIY character. Its uneven contours and chunky shapes feel energetic and tactile, suggesting handmade signage, zines, and playful packaging rather than corporate polish.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold hand-painted or marker-drawn sans, prioritizing warmth and personality over strict geometric precision. Its consistent thickness and softened shapes aim to deliver strong impact while keeping an inviting, playful feel.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and simplified, while lowercase maintains the same chunky construction for consistent color in text. Numerals are similarly rounded and irregular, matching the texture and weight of the letters. The overall texture becomes more pronounced in larger settings, where the wavy perimeter contributes a distinct, poster-like presence.
