Sans Other Nenab 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'Larrikin' by HeadFirst, 'Adhesive Letters JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'MVB Diazo' by MVB (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with soft, rounded corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with minimal modulation and gently swollen joins that give letters a pillowy silhouette. Proportions feel condensed overall, while curves (C, O, S) are drawn with a slightly pinched, organic geometry rather than strict circles. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simple, sturdy forms; counters are small and apertures tend to be tight, emphasizing a bold, poster-like texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where a warm, playful presence is desired. It also works well for short captions, stickers, and kids-oriented or whimsical applications where legibility is secondary to personality.
The tone is cheerful and approachable, with a casual, quirky rhythm that reads as handmade and lighthearted rather than technical or corporate. Its soft shapes and uneven nuance suggest a retro, cartoon-adjacent voice suited to fun, informal messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a high-impact, friendly display voice: a condensed, soft-edged sans that feels hand-shaped and characterful, optimized to create strong, chunky word images in titles and prominent copy.
Round dots and terminals reinforce the friendly feel, while the dense counters and compact spacing create a strong black mass on the page. At longer text sizes it becomes very attention-grabbing, with word shapes that feel lively and slightly wobbly rather than strictly geometric.
