Sans Normal Tylid 1 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Epoca Classic' by Hoftype, 'Artigua' by Picador, 'Newbery Sans Pro' by Sudtipos, and 'Indecise' by Tipo Pèpel (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with large counters, rounded bowls, and broadly circular construction in characters like C, G, O, and Q. Strokes are thick with noticeable contrast at joins and in curved-to-straight transitions, giving the letterforms a carved, ink-trap-like firmness rather than purely monoline behavior. Terminals are clean and mostly squared off, while curves stay smooth and generous, creating a strong black shape and a compact rhythm in text. The uppercase reads wide and stable with sturdy verticals (H, N) and blunt diagonals (A, V, W), while the lowercase keeps simple, robust silhouettes with a single-storey a and g and a tightly built t and r.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where strong typographic impact is needed. It can work well for branding and packaging that want a confident, sporty or retro-leaning tone, and for short signage or labels where quick recognition and high visual weight are assets.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a punchy presence that feels sporty and attention-seeking. Its bold, rounded geometry leans toward a slightly retro, poster-like voice rather than a quiet, neutral text mood.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, geometric structure and sturdy curves, balancing clean sans forms with a slightly sculpted stroke behavior for extra personality. It prioritizes bold readability and a distinctive silhouette over delicate detail, making it a natural choice for attention-driven typography.
In the sample text the dense color and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the counters and distinctive shapes have room to breathe. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the headline-oriented character of the alphabet.
