Sans Other Lokab 5 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'BR Segma' by Brink, 'Innova' by Durotype, 'Nietos' by Melvastype, 'Motiva Sans' by Plau, and 'Bahn' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

This face uses chunky, monoline strokes with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut construction. Curves are frequently simplified into faceted arcs and clipped corners, giving bowls and rounds a slightly polygonal feel. Terminals tend to end bluntly with wedge-like cuts, and many joins show small kinks that reinforce the handmade rhythm. Proportions are generally compact with sturdy counters, while spacing and letter widths vary enough to create a lively, slightly bouncy texture across words and lines.
This font works best in display roles where its irregular, faceted shapes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, short brand lines, and logo wordmarks. It can also suit playful editorial callouts and children’s or hobby-focused materials, especially at medium to large sizes where the angled cuts remain clear.
The overall tone is informal and characterful, evoking cut-paper signage, craft lettering, and comic display typography. Its roughened geometry reads friendly rather than aggressive, with a humorous, offbeat charm that feels approachable and a bit mischievous.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or carved lettering in a clean digital form, combining sturdy sans proportions with deliberately imperfect edges to create personality and motion. The goal is a bold, friendly display voice that feels crafted rather than mechanical.
Uppercase forms emphasize straight-sided geometry (notably in letters with diagonals), while round letters like O and Q appear as multi-sided rounds. The lowercase set maintains the same faceted logic, and numerals share the same blunt, cut-edge terminals, keeping the system visually consistent in continuous text.
