Sans Other Nerid 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Maken' by Graphicxell, 'Outdoor Cafe JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared proportions, flattened curves, and prominent chamfered corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight internal counters and frequent vertical notches/cut-ins that give many letters a stencil-like, segmented feel. The overall silhouette is compact and rhythmic, favoring straight sides and clipped terminals; curves (as in C, O, S) are rendered as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Numerals follow the same angular, modular logic, keeping a consistent, robust texture across lines.
Best suited for large-size display work such as headlines, posters, titles, badges, and brand marks where its chunky geometry and notched detailing remain clear. It can also work for packaging and signage that benefits from an industrial, stamped look, especially in short phrases or punchy calls to action.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and mid-century display lettering. Its sharp cut-ins and condensed shapes read as mechanical and purposeful, with a confident, sporty edge that feels suited to impactful, attention-seeking messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, modular construction, using clipped corners and cut-in details to create a distinctive, machine-made identity. Its consistent block logic suggests a focus on bold readability and characterful texture in display settings rather than extended text comfort.
Because counters are small and joins are tight, the face produces a dark, solid typographic color; the distinctive notches help maintain character differentiation at display sizes, but the design can feel crowded in long passages. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s block geometry closely, reinforcing a uniform, engineered appearance.
