Sans Other Lomol 5 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gibstone' by Eko Bimantara, 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, and 'Calps' and 'Calps Sans' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and noticeably uneven contours that feel hand-inked. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, but edges wobble subtly, creating a textured, stamped look rather than a geometric finish. Counters are relatively small and often squarish/rounded-rectangular, with tight apertures that add density. Widths and sidebearings vary by character, producing an organic rhythm and a slightly bouncy baseline impression even though the forms remain upright.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and branding where a handcrafted, sturdy sans is desired. It can work effectively on packaging, labels, and social graphics, and it’s especially strong for short phrases, badges, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a stamped or painted feel.
The overall tone is bold and informal, with a friendly, slightly rough personality that suggests handmade signage or rubber-stamp lettering. Its irregularities add charm and a tactile feel, leaning more expressive than neutral while staying highly legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans voice with deliberate human irregularity—capturing the look of hand-cut, brush-painted, or stamped letterforms while keeping clear, upright silhouettes for fast recognition.
The uppercase and lowercase share a consistent chunky construction, and the numerals match the same soft, inked geometry. The font reads best when allowed to show its texture—large sizes and generous line spacing help keep tight counters from darkening too much in blocks of text.
