Sans Normal Oblev 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad', 'Myriad Arabic', 'Myriad Bengali', and 'Myriad Devanagari' by Adobe and 'Akagi' by Positype (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, heavy sans with geometric construction and broadly rounded bowls. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and clean terminals that read as softly squared rather than sharply cut. Counters are relatively tight, giving letters a compact, weight-forward texture, while the overall proportions stay straightforward and upright. The lowercase shows sturdy, simple forms (single-storey a and g), and the numerals are wide and blocky with clear, open shapes.
Best suited to display work where impact and quick recognition matter—headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or calls-to-action when set with sufficient spacing, but it is less ideal for extended small-size reading due to its dense weight and compact counters.
The font projects a loud, upbeat tone: assertive and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry and compact rhythm add a friendly, approachable flavor that suits energetic messaging and playful branding.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, approachable geometric sans that maximizes presence and legibility at display sizes. Its simplified, rounded forms and uniform stroke weight aim for a contemporary, friendly voice with strong visual punch.
At larger sizes it creates a strong, uniform color and a distinctly poster-like presence. In dense settings the tight counters and heavy joins can make word shapes feel chunky, so it benefits from generous spacing and ample line height when used in longer phrases.
