Sans Other Lyke 6 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bulldog' and 'Bulldog Std' by Club Type, 'Molde' by Letritas, 'Malmo Sans Pro' by Martin Lexelius Core, 'Brown Pro' by Shinntype, and 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with squared proportions and assertive verticals. The letterforms are defined by distinctive interior bite-marks and notches that read as cutouts or ink-trap-like hollows, creating a jagged inner rhythm while keeping the outer silhouettes relatively solid. Counters are small and irregular, curves are compressed and sturdy, and terminals tend to end bluntly, giving the face a punched, carved look. The overall texture is dense and dark, with noticeable per-glyph variation in interior shaping that adds a handmade, distressed consistency.
Best suited to display work where the notched texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, and thematic signage. It can also add a punchy, characterful voice to labels and packaging, especially in short phrases or branded marks where legibility is supported by scale and spacing.
The font evokes a frontier and saloon-poster attitude with a touch of comic roughness. Its chunky silhouettes feel bold and attention-grabbing, while the notched interiors add character that reads as rugged, crafty, and slightly mischievous rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, themed display voice by combining solid, slab-like construction with consistent internal cutouts that mimic carved, stamped, or worn printing. The goal seems to be instant recognizability and a strong decorative texture while retaining a broadly sans, block-letter foundation.
The most defining feature is the repeated internal chisel/notch motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which creates strong identity even at larger sizes. In running text the dense weight and busy interior shaping can reduce clarity, but it produces a distinctive, textured typographic color for display settings.
