Sans Other Nyhy 12 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Machinista' by T-26, and 'Quayzaar' by Test Pilot Collective (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, square-built sans with pixel-like, orthogonal construction and sharply stepped corners. Strokes are uniform and rectilinear, with many glyphs formed from modular blocks and rectangular counters that read like cut-outs. Terminals are flat and abrupt, and several letters use notched joins and inset apertures, creating a slightly stencil-like, engineered texture. Spacing and proportions feel deliberately grid-driven, producing a strong, rhythmic pattern in lines of text while maintaining clear, simplified silhouettes.
Well suited to display applications such as game titles and interfaces, tech-leaning posters, branding wordmarks, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also work for short, bold labels on packaging or merchandise where a retro-digital or industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is retro-digital and game-like, evoking arcade UI, early computer graphics, and industrial signage. Its angular modularity gives a mechanical, utilitarian edge, while the chunky shapes add playful impact.
Likely designed to capture a grid-based, pixel-adjacent aesthetic while remaining a solid, readable sans for bold display settings. The consistent modular geometry and rectangular counters suggest an intention to feel engineered and digital, with strong visual impact and a recognizable arcade-era flavor.
The design leans on distinctive internal rectangular holes and stepped diagonals, which boosts character at display sizes. In longer text blocks it produces a dense, high-ink texture with pronounced geometric repetition, making it best used where that patterned, constructed look is a feature.
