Sans Other Gumi 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kontesa' by FoxType and 'Sicret' by Mans Greback (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from large, blocky forms with consistent stroke thickness and squared terminals. Many letters are constructed with deliberate internal cutouts and vertical or horizontal slits, producing a segmented, stencil-like look while keeping the overall silhouettes strongly readable. Curves are simplified into broad arcs and half-round shapes, counters are compact, and joints tend to be abrupt rather than tapered, giving the design a modular rhythm. Spacing and proportions feel display-oriented, with tight internal spaces and strong black mass that dominates at text sizes.
Best suited to bold display applications such as posters, titles, branding marks, packaging, and impactful signage where the stencil cuts can read as intentional detailing. It can also work for short labels or UI callouts that benefit from a strong, industrial presence, but it is less appropriate for long-form text due to its dense color and segmented interiors.
The segmented construction and dense weight give the face an industrial, mechanical tone that reads as utilitarian and confident. The repeating cut patterns add a retro-futurist and signage-like character, suggesting coded markings, machinery labels, or stylized headlines rather than neutral running text.
The design appears intended to fuse a clean sans foundation with a stencil/segmented system that adds texture and a distinctive identity. The consistent, repeatable cut shapes suggest an intention to evoke fabricated lettering, industrial marking, or modular construction while maintaining clear, punchy silhouettes.
Distinctive “breaks” through bowls and stems create visual texture across words, especially in letters like E, F, H, M, N, O, and S. Numerals follow the same cut motif, keeping a consistent voice between text and figures. The strong, chunky forms emphasize shape over detail, so clarity improves with generous size and contrast against the background.
