Sans Other Akga 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Gotham' and 'Whitney' by Hoefler & Co., 'Avenir Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Morandi' by Monotype, 'Fact' by ParaType, and 'Eastman Condensed' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, chunky sans with simplified geometry and slightly uneven, hand-cut contours. Strokes are broadly uniform and terminate in angled, wedge-like cuts, producing a chiseled silhouette rather than smooth curve endings. The shapes are compact with tight, rounded counters and noticeable ink-trap-like notches in places, giving the letters a rugged, cutout feel. Proportions lean toward a large x-height and short ascenders/descenders, while widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph for an informal rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and merchandise where a loud, graphic texture is desirable. It also works well for playful branding, event titles, and bold callouts where the handmade cutout character can carry the message.
The overall tone is bold and friendly with a comedic, poster-ready energy. Its irregular edges and wedge terminals evoke vintage display lettering—part carnival sign, part handmade collage—making text feel energetic and slightly mischievous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a handcrafted, cut-paper personality. By combining simplified sans construction with wedge-cut terminals and compact counters, it aims to feel approachable and retro while remaining strong and attention-grabbing in display contexts.
In the sample text, the dense black color and tight internal spaces create a strong, punchy texture that stays legible at headline sizes but can look busy when set in longer lines. The numerals match the same chunky, angular-cut construction, reinforcing a consistent display voice.
