Solid Ahvu 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'EquipCondensed' by Hoftype, 'Garrigue' by Nootype, and 'Germalt' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded display face built from large, blobby silhouettes with softened corners and minimal internal counters. Many letters show deliberate bite-like cutouts and notches that interrupt bowls and joints, creating a collage/stencil feel while keeping a solid overall mass. Curves are expansive and circular (notably in O/Q/0/8), while straights are short and thick, giving the alphabet a compact, squat rhythm. Spacing and sidebearings read slightly irregular, with some characters (like S, 2, 3, 5, 9) featuring offset apertures that add visual wobble without changing the upright stance.
Use it for bold headlines, poster graphics, event titling, packaging, and logo marks where a playful, chunky texture is desirable. It also fits youth-oriented branding, games, and short callouts where strong silhouette recognition matters more than fine interior detail.
The tone is exuberant and cartoony, with a friendly, mischievous personality. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky cut-ins feel retro and game-like, projecting an energetic, informal voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through large, rounded masses and intentionally disrupted letterforms, creating a distinctive “solid cutout” texture. The goal seems to be immediate personality and visual memorability in display settings.
Legibility holds best at medium to large sizes where the small incisions and collapsed openings remain distinct; at small sizes the solid bowls may merge into simple shapes. Numerals are particularly bold and poster-like, with distinctive, stylized joins and cutouts that emphasize character over neutrality.
