Sans Other Abkav 12 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Knicknack' by Great Scott, 'Organetto' and 'Taberna' by Latinotype, 'Tolyer' by Typesketchbook, and 'Bulltoad' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded outer corners and mostly flat terminals, drawn with intentionally uneven contours. Strokes remain consistently thick, with subtle wobble in verticals and bowls that creates a hand-cut, slightly jittery silhouette. Counters are small to moderate and often somewhat squarish, while curves are simplified into sturdy, bulbous shapes. Overall spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, producing a lively, uneven rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, playful branding, and packaging where personality matters more than typographic restraint. It also works well for children’s materials, short captions, labels, and sticker-style graphics, especially at medium to large sizes where its chunky forms and irregular rhythm can be appreciated.
The face reads as lighthearted and mischievous, with a homemade, cut-paper energy that feels more cartoon than corporate. Its bouncy irregularity and chunky weight suggest informality, humor, and kid-friendly communication rather than polished neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, bold sans voice with a deliberately imperfect, handmade feel. Its simplified geometry and variable letter widths prioritize character and impact, aiming to create a fun, energetic texture in short bursts of text.
The sample text shows strong color on the page and clear word shapes at larger sizes, while the irregular widths and tight internal spaces make the texture feel intentionally busy. The numerals match the same chunky, simplified construction and maintain the playful, slightly skewed stance seen across the alphabet.
