Sans Other Didoy 2 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Meccanica', 'Modica', and 'Technica' by Monotype and 'Loew', 'Loew Next', and 'Loew Next Arabic' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded corners and a distinctly stencil-cut treatment. Many strokes are interrupted by small, consistent gaps that read like cutouts, while counters stay generous and mostly circular/rectangular in feel. Terminals are blunt and softly radiused, with simplified geometry and occasional asymmetric shaping that gives letters a custom, engineered look. Spacing is open enough to keep the dark weight from clogging, and the overall rhythm stays sturdy and uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used at display sizes where the stencil interruptions and rounded block forms remain crisp and intentional. It works well for headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and signage/wayfinding where a rugged-but-friendly industrial voice is desired. For long passages, its strong texture makes it more suitable for brief statements than continuous reading.
The cut-in breaks and chunky proportions create an industrial, techno tone that feels suited to equipment labeling and futuristic branding. At the same time, the rounded geometry keeps it approachable, giving the face a friendly, toy-like modernism rather than a severe utilitarian mood.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy geometric sans with a stencil manufacturing motif, creating a high-impact display face that feels engineered and modern while staying visually soft through rounded corners and open counters.
The stencil gaps are prominent in both letters and figures, producing a distinctive texture in running text and a strong silhouette in short words. Curved forms (like O/Q/0) emphasize a soft, almost bubble-like roundness, while diagonals and joins remain simplified and mechanical.
