Sans Other Lorul 8 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Anantason Mon' by Jipatype, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, 'Lyu Lin' by Stefan Stoychev, 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block, and 'Aksioma' by Zafara Studios (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with monoline construction, soft terminals, and compact counters that keep shapes dense and highly graphic. Distinctive vertical slit cut-ins appear throughout many glyphs (notably in C, G, O/Q, and several numerals), creating a stencil-like interruption of bowls and curves while preserving overall readability. Curves are broad and smooth, joins are sturdy, and the lowercase includes single-storey forms (a, g) with a straightforward, utilitarian rhythm. Numerals echo the same cut-in motif, with rounded silhouettes and simplified interior spaces.
Best suited to display contexts where its distinctive cut-in motif can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging, branding marks, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when set with sufficient size and spacing to keep the interior details from filling in.
The cut-in details and chunky geometry give the font a playful industrial attitude—part signage stencil, part retro display. It feels friendly and approachable due to the rounded corners, yet also slightly mechanical and engineered because of the repeated vertical interruptions.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, recognizable sans voice by combining rounded, friendly outlines with a consistent stencil-like interruption that adds character and a repeatable visual signature across letters and numbers.
The stencil-like slits act as a strong identifying feature at larger sizes and can create lively texture in headlines. In tighter settings or smaller sizes, the dense counters and internal cut-ins may appear darker and more textural, so spacing and size choice will strongly influence clarity.
