Sans Other Adluz 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Guess' by DearType and 'POLIGRA' by Machalski (names referenced only for comparison).

The design is built from heavy, uniform strokes with simplified, geometric construction. Many letters show faceted, wedge-like joins and angled terminals, creating a cut-paper or sticker-like silhouette rather than smooth, calligraphic curves. Counters are generally compact and round-to-angular, and the texture across words is lively due to occasional asymmetries and sharp internal notches, especially in diagonals and curved forms.
It works well for posters, packaging, children’s or entertainment-oriented branding, and short headlines where a lively, chunky texture is desirable. It’s also suitable for stickers, signage, and social graphics that benefit from a playful retro feel and strong silhouette at medium to large sizes.
This font projects a playful, punchy attitude with a distinctly retro-cartoon flavor. Its exaggerated geometry and jaunty rhythm give it a friendly, attention-seeking voice that feels more fun than formal. The overall tone reads as bold, quirky, and slightly mischievous.
The font appears designed for high-impact display use where personality matters as much as legibility. Its simplified shapes, strong black presence, and distinctive angular cuts suggest an intention to stand out quickly in headlines and logos rather than to disappear into body text.
The sample text shows consistent weight and a compact, high-contrast color (ink-to-paper) that remains readable, while the distinctive angular notches and wedge shapes add a signature look in words. Numerals are similarly heavy and geometric, matching the overall playful, cutout construction.
