Hollow Other Abva 3 is a very bold, normal width, very high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Copperplate New' by Caron twice, 'Glembo' by Differentialtype, 'Mithella' by Lafontype, 'Nusara' by Locomotype, 'Sebino Soft' by Nine Font, 'Core Sans CR' by S-Core, and 'Mister London' by Sarid Ezra (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, rounded display face with inflated, blob-like letterforms and smooth terminals. The main strokes are rendered as dense black shapes, but each glyph includes a thin internal knockout/inline that traces the outer contour, creating a hollowed highlight effect and strong figure–ground contrast. Counters are generally compact and simplified, and the overall construction favors broad curves over sharp joins; diagonals (like V/W/X) are softened and slightly irregular, giving an organic, hand-drawn feel. Spacing appears generous and the silhouettes stay very consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, prioritizing impact over fine detail.
Best suited to short, bold applications where the hollow highlight can read clearly—headlines, posters, playful branding, sticker-style graphics, and packaging for sweets or novelty products. It can also work for event titles or social graphics where a friendly, cartoonish tone is desired.
The inline cutouts read like glossy highlights, pushing a toy-like, friendly tone that feels animated and upbeat. The rounded geometry and soft rhythm suggest humor and approachability, with a hint of vintage candy-shop or Saturday-morning-cartoon energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum pop at display sizes by combining heavy, rounded silhouettes with a hollowed inline that suggests shine and dimensionality. The consistent puffed shapes and simplified interiors indicate a focus on personality and immediate recognition rather than extended reading.
The inner knockout line is not perfectly uniform from glyph to glyph, which adds charm but also introduces a lively, slightly uneven texture in longer text. Numerals share the same puffy construction and highlight treatment, maintaining a cohesive, poster-oriented voice.
