Sans Other Abgiw 11 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Fox Felix' by Fox7, 'MNSTR' by Gaslight, 'POLIGRA' by Machalski, and 'Antry Sans' by Mans Greback (names referenced only for comparison).

This is a heavy, compact sans with big, rounded bowls and softened corners that keep the texture friendly despite the dense weight. Stroke endings are largely blunt and squared, while many counters and joints show idiosyncratic notches and cut-ins that create a slightly hand-cut, stencil-adjacent feel without breaking the forms apart. Proportions are tight with short extenders, and round letters (O, C, G) read as near-circular blocks; diagonals (K, V, W, X) are simplified and sturdy. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with bold, easily distinguishable silhouettes and small, controlled counters.
Best suited for large-size display work such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and bold logo wordmarks where its chunky shapes and quirky cut-ins can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of copy (labels, calls-to-action, signage) where strong presence and quick recognition matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is cheerful and attention-grabbing, with a mid-century display vibe reminiscent of signage, packaging, and playful branding. Its quirky cut-ins add character and a hint of whimsy, giving headlines a casual, game-like energy rather than a corporate or technical feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, retro-leaning personality. By combining blunt, blocky construction with rounded geometry and small carved details, it aims to stand out in display settings while maintaining a warm, approachable tone.
The distinctive notches appear across both cases and in several capitals (notably E/F/H/M/N/U/W), producing a rhythmic, decorative texture in text lines. The lowercase is compact and highly simplified, leaning toward single-storey, geometric shapes that prioritize impact over refinement, while punctuation appears bold and minimal to match the heavyweight color.
