Sans Other Akdu 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Blooms' by DearType, 'Fox Felix' by Fox7, 'MNSTR' by Gaslight, and 'MPI No. 508' by mpressInteractive (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans with faceted, chiseled-looking outlines and deliberately uneven geometry. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, but edges wobble slightly and corners break into small planes, creating a cut-paper or carved silhouette. Counters are compact and sometimes asymmetrical, with tight apertures and sturdy stems that give letters a compact, poster-like density. Overall spacing feels lively and inconsistent in a controlled way, reinforcing a handmade rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and personality matter: posters, large headlines, packaging, and promotional graphics. It can also work for album artwork, game titles, or themed event flyers where an intentionally rough, cut-out aesthetic is desirable; avoid long passages of small text where the tight counters and irregular edges may hinder readability.
The font reads bold and mischievous, with a DIY, punk-poster energy. Its irregular facets and bouncy shapes suggest spontaneity and humor rather than refinement, making the tone feel loud, friendly, and slightly chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or roughly carved letterforms while maintaining the structure of a sans alphabet. It prioritizes bold silhouette, texture, and energetic rhythm over smooth precision, aiming for an expressive display voice that feels crafted and unconventional.
Uppercase forms appear more monolithic while lowercase introduces more quirky shaping (notably in bowls and terminals), which increases the casual, handmade impression. Numerals follow the same angular, blocky construction for cohesive display use, though the tight counters and jagged edges can reduce clarity at small sizes.
