Sans Other Nohu 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Knicknack' by Great Scott, 'Display Patrol' by Hanoded, 'Otter' by Hemphill Type, and 'Morl' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, soft-edged sans with inflated, blobby forms and gently uneven contours that read as intentionally hand-shaped. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with rounded terminals and occasional angular nicks that add a cut-paper feel. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm is lively with small variations in glyph widths and internal spacing. The lowercase shows simplified construction with single-storey forms and a prominent, rounded dot on i/j; numerals are stout and highly stylized for display clarity.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, splashy headlines, product packaging, kids’ content, labels, stickers, and social graphics where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It can also work for short captions or callouts when spaced comfortably, but is less suited to long-form reading.
The tone is warm, goofy, and approachable, evoking kids’ media, snacks-and-toys packaging, and lighthearted novelty branding. Its bounce and irregularity make it feel handmade and humorous rather than precise or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a humorous, handcrafted personality—prioritizing chunky silhouettes, soft corners, and a lively, uneven rhythm to create an immediately approachable display sans.
At text sizes, the dense weight and tight counters can visually fill in, especially in letters like a/e/o and in rounded numerals, so it benefits from generous tracking and short line lengths. The strongest impact comes from large settings where the quirky silhouettes and soft corners are clearly visible.
