Sans Other Lybo 6 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Prenton RP' by BluHead Studio, 'Peridot Latin' and 'Peridot PE' by Foundry5, and 'Prored' by Tour De Force (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, faceted sans with chunky strokes and subtly irregular outlines that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically perfect. Terminals are blunt and often angled, with small notches and planar cuts that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are compact and sometimes polygonal (notably in O/0 and 8), while curves are simplified into rounded-but-faceted arcs. Spacing and sidebearings read slightly uneven by design, giving words a lively, jittery rhythm in running text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, labels, and bold branding marks where its faceted edges and irregular rhythm can be appreciated. It can work for brief subheads or playful captions, but the dense shapes and quirky spacing make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a retro, handmade character that suggests cut paper, carved signage, or playful display lettering. Its bouncy irregularity keeps it friendly and informal, while the dense black shapes add assertive impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a deliberately imperfect, handcrafted texture—combining a sans foundation with chiseled, angular cuts to create a distinctive display voice.
Uppercase forms stay fairly blocky and poster-like, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (single-storey a, distinctive g, and a compact, curved r), increasing the hand-rendered feel. Numerals are equally chunky and stylized, with strong silhouette recognition at larger sizes.
