Sans Normal Regus 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Whitney' by Hoefler & Co., 'Allotrope' by Kostic, 'Frutiger Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, and 'Open Sans Soft' by Matteson Typographics (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with dense color and softly curved joins that keep the texture friendly rather than rigid. Strokes are broadly uniform, with subtly tapered terminals and slightly asymmetrical curves that give the letters a handmade, cut-paper feel. Counters are generally open and simple, and the lowercase features a single-storey “a” with a tall, sturdy structure and a prominent, square-ish i/j dot. Numerals are large and blocky, with smooth, rounded bowls and a straightforward, legible construction.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and friendly character are desired, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for short blocks of text or calls to action when set with ample size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, pairing confident weight with gentle curves. Its slightly quirky rhythm reads as informal and warm, with a hint of mid-century poster character rather than a strictly neutral corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact emphasis with an approachable, rounded voice—combining bold, simple geometry with slight irregularities to avoid a sterile feel and add personality in branding and editorial display.
The bold mass and compact internal spaces create strong impact in headlines, while the wide curves and generous apertures help keep words readable at larger sizes. The dotted lowercase forms and rounded bowls stand out as distinctive signature details in running text.
