Sans Other Mode 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Jaosamnak' by Jipatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with rounded, blunted corners and subtly wavy outlines that give each glyph a hand-shaped feel. Strokes stay broadly consistent, but edges swell and taper slightly, creating an uneven, organic rhythm across words. Counters are relatively small and often squarish, and joins are thick, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. The overall construction reads as simplified and geometric at its core, then deliberately distorted for character, with spacing and widths varying noticeably from letter to letter.
Best suited to display applications where texture and personality matter more than fine detail—posters, cover art, product packaging, storefront graphics, and short punchy headlines. It can also work for logo wordmarks and playful branding systems when used with generous sizes and comfortable spacing.
The tone is bold and mischievous, like cut paper signage or a vintage novelty headline. Its bouncy irregularity feels friendly and informal, with a slightly goofy, cartoonish energy that keeps it from feeling mechanical or corporate.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a deliberately imperfect, handmade silhouette, turning simple sans forms into expressive shapes. The goal is to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing voice for display typography rather than a neutral text workhorse.
In text, the dense black shapes and compact counters create strong impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially where interior openings tighten. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same swollen, hand-pressed logic, helping the set feel cohesive for display use.
