Sans Other Lyzi 4 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Chubbét' by Emboss, 'Billboard' by Fenotype, 'Panton' by Fontfabric, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, and 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward sans built from blocky, monoline strokes and interrupted by consistent stencil breaks. Counters and interior spaces are carved with vertical and diagonal gaps, creating a segmented silhouette across rounds (O, C, G) and straights (E, F, H). Edges show a deliberately rough, worn texture with slightly uneven contours, giving the shapes a printed or cut-out feel rather than a crisp digital finish. Spacing is sturdy and compact in text, with large, dark forms and simplified geometry that stays legible through strong silhouette contrast.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and signage where the stencil breaks and distressed edges can be appreciated. It also fits labeling and badge-like applications (e.g., crate marks, industrial tags, event branding) where a rugged, functional aesthetic is desirable; for extended reading at small sizes, the texture and interruptions are likely to reduce clarity.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, with a rugged, no-nonsense voice. Its stencil construction and distressed finish suggest equipment labeling, military or shipping contexts, and other environments where markings feel practical, tough, and timeworn. The dense black presence reads assertive and attention-grabbing, especially in short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakable stencil voice with a deliberately worn surface, combining bold massing with systematic cut-ins that evoke sprayed, stamped, or masked lettering. The goal seems to be high-impact communication with a rugged, industrial character rather than smooth neutrality.
Lowercase follows the same segmented logic as the uppercase, with many letters echoing simplified, block-derived structures; this reinforces a cohesive system rather than a conventional text face. The numerals match the stencil motif and maintain strong, easily recognized silhouettes, though the distressing and breaks add visual noise at small sizes.
