Sans Other Lyry 5 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AG Royal' by Berthold; 'Avenir Next Arabic', 'Avenir Next Cyrillic', 'Avenir Next Hebrew', 'Avenir Next Paneuropean', 'Avenir Next Thai', and 'Avenir Next World' by Linotype; and 'June Pro' by Schriftlabor (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward sans with stencil-like interruptions that split bowls and counters into distinct segments. Forms are built from broad, compact strokes with mostly straight terminals and occasional angled cuts, creating a cutout rhythm across letters and numerals. The outlines read slightly irregular, as if printed, sprayed, or stamped, adding a subtle roughness to the otherwise geometric block construction. Spacing appears robust and the texture stays dense in text, with distinctive breaks in characters like O, Q, S, and 0 providing strong patterning.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, display headlines, branding accents, and bold labels. It performs especially well where a stenciled or industrial cue is desired—wayfinding, product packaging, event graphics, or warning-style callouts. For longer passages, the dense weight and frequent interruptions make it most effective in larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking shipping marks, military labeling, and workshop signage. Its broken strokes and inky heft communicate toughness and urgency, with a deliberately no-nonsense voice that feels engineered for attention rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to mimic practical stencil and cutout lettering while remaining typographically consistent across a full alphanumeric set. It prioritizes immediacy and recognizability, using systematic breaks and sturdy geometry to project a durable, workmanlike character.
The repeated internal gaps create a strong horizontal/vertical cadence that becomes a recognizable texture at larger sizes. Numerals echo the same stencil logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel consistent and signage-ready.
