Sans Other Hudy 12 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Inerta' by Mint Type, 'Applied Sans' by Monotype, 'Kentledge' by Namogo, and 'Glence' by Nine Font (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with large, rounded counters and a distinctly modular construction. Many letters and numerals feature consistent vertical cutouts that split bowls and stems, creating a stencil-like rhythm and strong internal landmarks. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional angled joins, and curves are broad and simplified rather than calligraphic. Spacing and widths vary by character, but the overall texture stays dense and uniform due to the large stroke mass and repeated cutout motif.
Best suited to display applications where the cutout construction can be appreciated: posters, headlines, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for badges, labels, and themed graphics where an industrial or stencil-coded texture is desirable, but is less suitable for long text or small UI sizes due to the internal interruptions.
The repeated slits and chunky forms give the face an industrial, engineered tone with a retro display flavor. It reads as utilitarian and attention-grabbing, suggesting labeling, fabrication, or machinery aesthetics rather than refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward geometric sans foundation with a consistent slit/cutout system, creating a distinctive, reproducible silhouette reminiscent of stenciled marking and modular industrial lettering. The goal is strong impact and recognizability through repeated negative-space gestures rather than typographic subtlety.
The central cutouts are prominent enough to become a primary design feature, producing high visual noise at small sizes but a distinctive pattern at larger settings. Round letters (C, G, O, Q, 0, 8, 9) emphasize the motif most strongly, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, L, T) reinforce a rigid, sign-like structure.
