Sans Other Gavi 13 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Arlen' by Groteskly Yours, 'American Auto' by Miller Type Foundry, and 'LFT Iro Sans' by TypeTogether (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with softened corners and broad, compact proportions. Counters are generally small and rounded, giving a dense color on the page, while several joins show sharp, wedge-like notches that read as deliberate cut-ins rather than smooth transitions. The uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric with simple construction, and the lowercase follows a similarly robust pattern with single-storey shapes and short, thick terminals. Figures are wide and bold with simplified interiors, matching the font’s overall solid, poster-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, badges, and packaging where its dense black weight and chunky shapes can carry the layout. It can also work for logo wordmarks and playful branding when set at moderate to large sizes to preserve counter clarity.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a slightly quirky, game-show or mid-century display feel. The combination of rounded mass and angular cut-ins adds a mischievous, attention-grabbing character that feels more fun than formal.
The design appears intended as a statement display sans: maximize impact with large, rounded forms while adding recognizable signature cut-ins for texture and personality. The consistent heaviness and simplified letterforms suggest prioritizing bold readability and a distinctive, retro-leaning voice over neutral text performance.
Spacing appears generous enough for display settings, but the small counters and dense strokes can cause characters to merge visually at smaller sizes. The recurring wedge/notch details create a distinctive texture across words, especially in letters like S, G, and several lowercase forms.
