Hollow Other Alfu 1 is a very bold, normal width, very high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Fraiche' by Adam Fathony, 'Knicknack' by Great Scott, 'Otter' by Hemphill Type, 'Klop' by Invasi Studio, 'Organetto' by Latinotype, and 'Morl' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, rounded display face with inflated, pill-like strokes and softened corners throughout. The forms are constructed from heavy, monoline-looking bodies but include scattered internal knockouts and small highlights that create a hollowed, cutout feel and a lively, uneven texture. Counters are generally large and rounded (notably in O, P, R, and numerals), while joins and terminals stay blunt and friendly rather than sharp. Overall spacing reads open and generous, with a slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm that keeps repeated shapes from feeling mechanical.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, kids’ products, playful branding, packaging, stickers, and comic-style titling. It also works well for event promos, menu headers, and social graphics where a warm, informal voice is desired and the interior cutouts can read clearly.
The font conveys a cheerful, kid-friendly tone with a cartoon sign-painting energy. The internal cutouts add a quirky, tactile character—like inked marker lettering with little breaks or shine marks—making it feel casual and approachable rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a handcrafted feel, using rounded geometry plus decorative internal knockouts to add personality and motion without sacrificing readability at headline sizes.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same soft, rounded construction, helping mixed-case text feel cohesive and highly legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same inflated geometry; the 0 and 8 are especially bulbous, and the 1–7 set keeps a simplified, poster-ready look. The cutouts are decorative rather than structural, so the face benefits from sufficient size and contrast against the background to keep those details visible.
