Sans Normal Tymih 5 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Imago W1G' by Berthold, 'Cynosure' by Device, 'Murs Gothic' by Kobuzan, 'Black Grotesk' by ParaType, and 'Nuber' and 'Nuber Next' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-oriented sans with broad proportions and rounded outer curves paired with flattened terminals. Strokes are uniformly thick with little modulation, and counters are relatively tight, creating dense black shapes. Many forms show squared-off shoulders and blunt joins, while round letters (C, G, O, Q) keep an oval geometry with crisp, trimmed openings. Lowercase characters lean toward single-storey constructions and sturdy stems, maintaining a consistent, compact rhythm across the alphabet.
This style performs best in large-size applications where strong silhouette and immediate readability matter—posters, headlines, cover lines, event graphics, and bold signage. It also suits sports and fitness branding, labels, and packaging that need a compact, high-impact typographic voice. In longer text, its dense color and tight counters are more appropriate for short bursts than extended reading.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a utilitarian, workmanlike feel that reads as sporty and industrial. Its dense weight and blunt details give it a poster-like presence, evoking retro display typography and bold editorial titling. The texture is energetic and punchy rather than refined, prioritizing impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a simplified, geometric construction and blunt terminals that hold up in bold display settings. Its wide stance and compact counters suggest a focus on strong word shapes and a confident, contemporary-retro presence for branding and headline work.
Spacing in the samples appears generous enough to prevent the heavy shapes from clogging, but the tight internal counters and broad letterforms keep the line color very dark. Numerals match the alphabet’s chunky construction and rounded corners, supporting cohesive titling and scoreboard-style settings. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown, so the visible character set is limited to the provided letters and digits.
