Sans Other Nylo 6 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Newhouse DT' by DTP Types, 'Helen Bg' by HS Fonts, 'Arial' and 'Arial Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Europa Grotesk SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded outer contours that are repeatedly interrupted by sharp, triangular cut-ins. Many counters and joins show deliberate notches and wedge-shaped voids, creating a chiseled, ink-trap-like texture throughout. Curves (C, G, O, S) remain broadly circular but are faceted by these internal cuts, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I) keep blocky stems and squared terminals. The overall rhythm is irregular in a controlled way: widths and internal shapes vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, constructed feel rather than a purely geometric one.
Best suited to display settings where the chiseled texture can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, and title treatments. It can also work for short UI labels or badges at larger sizes, but the interior cuts suggest avoiding very small text where the details may fill in or visually clutter.
The repeated wedge cuts give the face a mischievous, slightly industrial character—part cartoon display, part hand-cut signage. It reads as energetic and attention-seeking, with a playful “carved” personality that feels more expressive than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through massy shapes while adding character via consistent triangular cut-ins. This construction creates a memorable, branded look that stands apart from plain heavy sans styles and lends itself to expressive, graphic typography.
The distinctive triangular intrusions often appear at apertures, bowls, and stroke junctions, making counters feel dynamic and slightly asymmetric. Numerals follow the same language, with bold silhouettes and internal cuts that echo the letterforms, reinforcing a cohesive display texture.
