Solid Otba 12 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, reverse italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Bratsy Script' by Figuree Studio and 'New Roshelyn Script' by Get Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, ink-heavy display face built from compact, irregular silhouettes rather than conventional stroke construction. Letterforms read as chunky blobs with frequent angular notches and faceted cuts, producing a chiseled-yet-gooey contour that varies from glyph to glyph. Counters are largely collapsed, so many characters appear as solid masses with only implied internal structure. The overall rhythm is tight and crowded, with uneven edge behavior and a deliberately inconsistent geometry that enhances the handcrafted, cutout feel.
Best suited for display settings where texture and attitude are the priority: posters, music and nightlife artwork, skate/streetwear branding, bold packaging, and short headline treatments. It works well when set large with generous spacing and minimal copy, where the solid shapes can function as graphic elements as much as letterforms.
The font projects a loud, mischievous attitude—part cartoon splat, part rough street cutout. Its heavy, amorphous shapes feel energetic and unruly, giving text a rebellious, DIY tone that favors impact over refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a deliberately irregular, handmade silhouette language. By collapsing counters and leaning into uneven edge cuts, it prioritizes a punchy, cut-and-paste aesthetic that reads as expressive and disruptive in branding and headline use.
Because internal openings are minimized, character differentiation relies on outer silhouettes and distinctive edge bites; this boosts graphic punch at large sizes but can reduce clarity in longer text. The slanted posture and irregular contouring create a strong sense of motion, as if the letters were smeared or pressed from soft material.
