Sans Normal Nonif 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Gotham' by Hoefler & Co.; 'Loew', 'Loew Next', and 'Loew Next Arabic' by The Northern Block; and 'Eastman' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and firmly squared terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with little modulation, producing dense black shapes and clean interior counters. Curves tend toward circular/elliptical construction (notably in C, O, and S), while joins and ends are cut with crisp, largely horizontal or vertical edges. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with simple single-storey shapes and a large x-height that keeps counters open despite the weight.
Best suited to headlines and short-form settings where impact is the priority—posters, large labels, product packaging, branding lockups, and signage. It can also work for UI emphasis (buttons, badges, counters) when used sparingly and with generous line spacing to avoid dark, crowded text blocks.
The overall tone is bold and assured, projecting a friendly, contemporary solidity rather than refinement. Its chunky silhouettes and rounded geometry give it an approachable, poster-ready energy that reads as practical and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence through geometric simplicity and dense stroke weight, balancing rounded friendliness with crisp, modern terminals. It prioritizes quick recognition and strong typographic color for display-driven communication.
Spacing in the samples feels tight and efficient, emphasizing the font’s mass and making words read as strong blocks of color. The numerals and capitals share the same geometric logic, with clear, simple shapes designed for immediate recognition at larger sizes.
