Sans Other Lyri 3 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Chamelton' by Alex Khoroshok, 'Gravitica Rounded' by Ckhans Fonts, 'Transcript' by Colophon Foundry, 'Potomac' by Context, and 'Signal' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with clear stencil construction throughout, formed by deliberate breaks and bridges inside strokes and counters. Letterforms are mostly upright with broad, simplified geometry and minimal modulation, producing a strong, even color on the line. Edges read slightly rough and inked, suggesting a sprayed or stamped application rather than crisp vector outlines. Spacing and widths vary per glyph, giving the texture a hand-applied rhythm despite the consistent stencil logic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, signage, labels, and packaging where the stencil texture is a feature. It remains legible at medium-to-large sizes and works especially well when you want a marked, tagged, or industrial feel rather than a clean typographic voice.
The overall tone is utilitarian and industrial, evoking shipping marks, crates, equipment labeling, and signage. The broken shapes and rugged edges add a gritty, field-ready character that feels practical and tough rather than refined or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic practical stencil lettering used for fast reproduction on physical surfaces, combining bold massing with functional breaks that imply cut templates. The added roughness suggests an effort to capture the imperfections of spray, stamp, or worn paint for a more authentic, workmanlike look.
Counters are frequently interrupted by vertical or diagonal bridges, and many glyphs show small irregular nicks that increase the worn, printed-on-surface impression. Numerals follow the same stencil strategy, keeping the set visually cohesive for marking and identification contexts.
