Sans Normal Muluz 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Telder HT Pro' by Huerta Tipográfica, 'Allotrope' by Kostic, 'Ansage' by Sudtipos, and 'Gloriola' by Suitcase Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, rounded sans with heavy strokes and softly squared corners that keep curves broad and stable. Bowls and counters are relatively compact, giving letters a dense, poster-ready texture, while apertures are generally narrow and terminals read as blunt cuts rather than sharp points. Curved letters (O, C, G, S) lean toward squarish rounding, and the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with simple, robust forms. Overall spacing and shapes create an even, blocky rhythm that holds together strongly in large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where strong silhouette and high impact are needed. It also works well for branding and display typography that aims for an approachable, upbeat voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro flavor that feels more friendly than formal. Its weight and rounded geometry project confidence and immediacy, making messages feel energetic and direct without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines rounded friendliness with dense, attention-grabbing letterforms. It prioritizes a strong typographic “stamp” and consistent texture for short to medium-length messages in promotional or editorial settings.
Distinctive angular notches and flat joins appear in several letters, adding a subtle industrial edge to the otherwise rounded construction. Numerals match the same heavy, compact style, maintaining consistent color and presence across mixed text.
