Sans Other Lyvi 2 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Araboto' by FarahatDesign, 'Applied Sans' by Monotype, 'PF Das Grotesk Pro' by Parachute, 'Aago' by Positype, and 'Carnova' by Typotheticals (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, sans construction with rounded outer corners and a clear stencil logic: many joins and counters are interrupted by deliberate gaps and cut-ins that read like bridges. Strokes are fairly uniform and dense, with broad curves on C/O/G and compact, blocky shaping on E/F/T, giving the alphabet a sturdy, sign-like rhythm. The texture is slightly uneven across glyphs due to repeated notches and breaks, creating a built-in distressed/industrial pattern while maintaining consistent overall proportions and straightforward, upright posture. Numerals mirror the same segmented treatment, with recognizable silhouettes punctuated by internal splits.
Best suited to headlines and display contexts where the stencil segmentation can be appreciated—posters, event titles, packaging, labels, and bold branding elements. It can also work for signage-style graphics or short UI headings where a rugged, industrial voice is desired, rather than long text passages.
The font conveys an industrial, utilitarian mood—mechanical and workmanlike, like markings applied through a stencil on equipment or packaging. The repeated breaks add grit and a sense of fabrication, suggesting durability and function over refinement.
The design appears intended to merge a clean, sans base with a pronounced stencil mechanic, producing high-impact letterforms that feel manufactured and repeatable. The consistent use of breaks and softened corners suggests a focus on distinctive texture and industrial character while preserving quick recognizability.
The stencil breaks occur in both vertical and horizontal directions, often at mid-stroke or at key joins, which increases visual character but also introduces strong interior rhythm that can dominate at smaller sizes. Rounded corners soften the otherwise hard, engineered feel, keeping it approachable while still firmly industrial.
