Sans Other Adlub 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Adhesive Letters JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Sicret Mono' by Mans Greback, and 'ME Plastic' by Sudtipos (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, monoline sans with compact proportions and rounded, softened corners throughout. Forms are built from simple geometric masses, with broad curves and blunt terminals that create a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Counters tend to be small and cleanly punched, and several joins and intersections are simplified into bold, graphic shapes, giving the alphabet a consistently chunky rhythm. The overall impression is tightly constructed and highly legible at display sizes, with a deliberate, slightly unconventional handling of diagonals and internal cut-ins.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where its chunky geometry can read clearly and project personality. It also works well for signage and short, punchy copy in entertainment, kids, or retro-themed contexts, especially where a strong, friendly voice is desired.
The tone is upbeat and assertive, combining a friendly roundness with a strong, graphic weight. It evokes mid‑century and arcade-toy signage energy—confident, informal, and attention-seeking without feeling sharp or aggressive. The quirky construction adds character that reads as fun and slightly offbeat.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that prioritizes immediate impact and memorability. By pairing softened corners with simplified, geometric construction, it aims to deliver a playful retro flavor while maintaining clear, robust letterforms for large-scale use.
Numerals follow the same stout geometry, with simplified, high-contrast silhouettes that hold up well in large settings. The typeface’s visual identity relies on bold masses and minimal interior detail, so spacing and shape clarity become especially important in longer lines of text.
