Sans Normal Niriv 2 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Northpole' by 38-lineart, 'Caravel' by Indian Type Foundry, 'Jam Grotesque' by JAM Type Design, and 'Pragmatica' by ParaType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a compact internal rhythm. Strokes read largely monoline with smooth, rounded curves and squared terminals, producing sturdy, high-ink shapes and small counters. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) are built from near-circular forms, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) maintain firm verticals and simplified joins. Lowercase forms are compact and robust; the single-storey a and g, plus a short-armed t, reinforce a utilitarian, contemporary construction. Numerals are similarly weighty and simple, with strong silhouettes suited to large-scale setting.
This font is well suited to headlines, display typography, and brand marks where strong presence is needed. It can work effectively for packaging and signage, and for digital UI moments that require emphatic labels or section titles, especially when given sufficient spacing.
The overall tone is bold and pragmatic, projecting confidence and clarity more than delicacy. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the dense counters and wide stance give it a poster-ready, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended as a modern geometric workhorse for high-impact display settings, prioritizing solid silhouettes, simple construction, and consistent weight for quick recognition across a range of word shapes.
Because counters and apertures are relatively tight, the face reads best with generous tracking or at larger sizes where interior detail can breathe. The sample text shows strong word shapes and consistent color, with particularly powerful emphasis in headlines and short lines.
