Sans Normal Medih 1 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, 'Garet' by Type Forward, and 'Codec Pro' and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded forms and a compact, high-impact silhouette. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curves on bowls and counters contrasted by crisp, angular terminals and sheared horizontal cuts. The overall texture is dense and dark, with small-ish counters and sturdy joins that create a continuous, poster-like rhythm. Spacing appears tight-to-normal, and the slant adds forward motion while keeping letterforms stable and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent signage where maximum impact is needed. It also fits sports identity systems, apparel graphics, and bold packaging where a dynamic, forward-leaning emphasis helps communicate speed and confidence. For longer text, it will be most effective in short bursts (subheads, callouts, and slogans) due to its dense weight and tight interior space.
The tone is energetic and assertive, leaning toward sports branding and action-oriented messaging. Its chunky curves and steep slant feel upbeat and slightly retro, giving headlines a confident, “in motion” voice without looking delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, emphatic display voice: large, rounded structures for friendliness and approachability, paired with sharp sheared cuts and an oblique stance to convey motion and urgency. Consistent stroke weight and sturdy proportions support strong reproduction in bold branding contexts.
Uppercase forms read as solid blocks with softened corners, while lowercase maintains strong presence and relatively open shapes for a heavy style. Numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, matching the same sheared, forward-leaning construction for consistent headline rhythm.
