Sans Other Wira 1 is a very bold, wide, very high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Archetica' by Almarkha Type, 'Newhouse DT' by DTP Types, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, 'Amsi Grotesk' and 'Crique Grotesk' by Stawix, 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block, and 'Clinto' by XdCreative (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with chunky proportions and softly squared corners. Strokes are largely monoline in structure but punctuated by distinctive internal cut-ins and small highlight-like notches that create a chiseled, carved impression. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly tapered, with generous counters and simplified geometry that keeps forms readable despite the mass. The overall rhythm is bouncy and informal, with subtly uneven interior shaping across letters that adds character without becoming chaotic.
Best suited to display settings where its personality and dense color can carry the layout—posters, playful branding, packaging, event titles, and logo wordmarks. It works especially well at medium-to-large sizes where the internal cut-ins and rounded shaping remain clear and contribute to the overall texture.
The letterforms read as upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like, vintage display energy. The carved cut-ins and glossy highlights give it a novelty sign-painting vibe—bold, attention-seeking, and intentionally “fun” rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that feels bold and approachable, using carved highlight details to differentiate it from a standard rounded grotesk. The goal seems to be strong impact with a retro-toy or novelty-sign flavor while maintaining straightforward, upright readability.
In the sample text, the strong black silhouette dominates, while the interior cut-ins prevent the texture from becoming a solid slab at larger sizes. The uppercase has a sturdy, poster-like presence, and the numerals match the same rounded, chunky construction for cohesive headlines and badges.
