Sans Normal Omrom 9 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Rational TW' by René Bieder and 'Matahari Sans' by Studio Sun (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with softened corners and a uniform, single-stroke feel throughout. Curves are broad and circular (notably in C/O/Q and the bowls of B/P/R), while straight strokes are blunt-ended and strongly vertical, producing a steady, grid-like rhythm. Proportions favor large counters and a prominent x-height, with simplified joins and minimal modulation; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are wide-angled and substantial. Numerals are robust and geometric, including a slashed zero, and punctuation/details read as square and pragmatic rather than delicate.
Well suited to environments where alignment and consistent character width matter, such as code editors, terminals, dashboards, tables, and system-like UI components. The strong weight and simplified shapes also make it effective for labels, short headlines, and industrial or tech-forward packaging where durability and legibility are priorities.
The overall tone is workmanlike and no-nonsense, with a confident, engineered presence. Its rounded geometry adds approachability, but the dense weight and strict rhythm keep it feeling technical and industrial, with a subtle retro-computing flavor.
The design appears intended to provide a sturdy, highly legible sans that holds up in structured layouts and dense settings, emphasizing consistent rhythm, simple geometry, and clear internal counters for dependable reading and alignment.
Letterforms appear optimized for consistent spacing and repetitive patterns, with generous internal shapes that help maintain clarity at smaller sizes despite the heavy stroke. The design favors straightforward, easily distinguishable silhouettes over expressive calligraphic nuance.
