Hollow Other Vihy 3 is a very bold, wide, high contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Swiss 721' by Bitstream, 'Helvetica' by Linotype, 'Core Sans AR' by S-Core, 'Founder Rounder' by Serebryakov, and 'Artico' and 'Artico Soft' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded display face with inflated, blob-like strokes and softly squared terminals. Counters are compact and often irregular, with extra internal notches and small cut-out speckles that create a distressed, hollowed texture within the black shapes. Curves dominate with minimal sharp corners, and the overall construction feels loosely geometric but intentionally uneven, giving each glyph a slightly idiosyncratic silhouette. Lowercase forms are large and prominent, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the x-height and generous stroke mass that keeps the texture visible at larger sizes.
Best suited to display use where its chunky shapes and textured cutouts can be appreciated—posters, playful headlines, packaging, signage, and bold social graphics. It can also work well for short logo words or product names that benefit from a friendly, handcrafted presence, while extended small-text settings may lose the interior detail.
The overall tone is friendly and humorous, leaning toward a toy-like, retro craft feel. The scattered internal cutouts add a worn, stamped, or screen-printed character that reads as informal and lively rather than precise or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a distinctive hollowed/distressed interior treatment. Its wide, rounded forms prioritize personality and impact, evoking printed craft textures and playful branding contexts.
The distressed interior details vary from glyph to glyph, producing a mottled rhythm across words and making the face feel more organic than purely constructed. Spacing appears moderately open for such heavy forms, helping maintain letter recognition despite tight counters.
