Sans Other Nelal 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Skate' and 'Timeout' by DearType, 'Goodrich' by Hendra Pratama, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, and 'Thierry Leonie' by Viswell (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and subtly irregular contours that suggest hand-cut or hand-inked construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals tend to be blunt, creating a dense, poster-like texture. Counters are relatively small and often asymmetrical, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable, with simple, sturdy forms and short, stout extenders.
This font is well suited for attention-grabbing headlines, short slogans, and playful branding where a bold, friendly voice is desired. It can work effectively on posters, packaging, and merchandise graphics, and as a logo wordmark when used at larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a slightly quirky, retro-cartoon energy. Its uneven edges and buoyant proportions read as approachable and human, prioritizing personality over precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful sans that feels handmade and fun, evoking mid-century novelty display lettering and cartoon signage while maintaining simple, readable letter structures.
In text, the weight and tight internal spaces make it feel best when given generous tracking and line spacing. The numerals match the same chunky, soft-edged construction, helping mixed text and display settings stay cohesive.
