Sans Normal Pirej 2 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Amfibia' and 'Karibu' by ROHH, 'Ansage' by Sudtipos, 'LFT Etica' by TypeTogether, and 'Milligram' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and thick, low-detail strokes that keep counters relatively compact. Forms are built from broad curves and softened corners, with a slightly bouncy rhythm from uneven widths and angled terminals. Uppercase letters read as sturdy blocks, while lowercase keeps single-storey constructions (notably a and g) and generous, bulb-like joins, producing a cohesive, poster-forward silhouette. Numerals match the same chunky proportions, with simplified internal shapes that prioritize impact over fine differentiation.
Well suited to high-impact headlines, posters, and short callouts where its mass and slant can convey motion quickly. It can support bold brand marks, packaging fronts, and apparel or sports-themed graphics that benefit from a friendly, energetic voice. For paragraph text, it will generally perform better in brief bursts or at larger sizes where counters remain clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning toward sporty and retro display aesthetics. Its inflated shapes and forward-leaning stance add motion and confidence, giving headlines a bold, fun energy rather than a formal or technical feel.
The design appears intended as a statement display sans that maximizes presence through rounded geometry, tight counters, and a dynamic oblique posture. It aims to feel approachable and lively while maintaining a clean, simplified construction that reproduces strongly in signage and promotional contexts.
Because the interior spaces are tight at this weight and the slant increases stroke crowding in places, the design tends to look best with ample tracking and line spacing, especially in longer phrases. The most distinctive character comes from its rounded, almost rubbery construction and consistent soft-edge treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures.
