Sans Other Novy 3 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cosan' by Adtypo, 'Niko' by Ludwig Type, 'Gloriola' by Suitcase Type Foundry, and 'Boulder' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, chunky sans with compact counters and broadly rounded corners. Strokes are thick and sculpted with noticeable tapering and swelling, giving many letters a slightly uneven, hand-cut feel despite an overall upright stance. Curves are generous and bulbous (notably in C, G, O, S), while straights lean toward subtly bowed sides and wedged terminals, creating a lively, non-mechanical rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, and spacing feels intentionally loose and buoyant, favoring impact over strict uniformity.
Best suited to large-size applications where its chunky silhouettes and animated rhythm can carry—posters, display headlines, product packaging, event promotions, and playful brand marks. It works especially well when a friendly, comedic, or youth-oriented tone is desired and when ample size/contrast preserves the small counters.
The font reads energetic and humorous, with a warm, approachable tone reminiscent of comic titling and playful packaging. Its wobbly, inflatable shapes suggest spontaneity and fun rather than precision, giving text a charismatic, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that prioritizes personality and punch. By combining oversized weight with subtly irregular shaping and soft corners, it aims to feel hand-made and fun while remaining broadly readable in short bursts of text.
Uppercase forms are broad and blocky, while lowercase maintains the same mass with simplified constructions and tight apertures that can close up at smaller sizes. Numerals are similarly hefty and slightly quirky, matching the informal texture across the set.
