Sans Other Meday 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Brightly Stories' by Graphicxell, 'Laire Sans' by Jolicia Type, 'Garnison' by OzType., and 'Giane Gothic sans' by XdCreative (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded corners and subtly softened joins throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform, producing dense, blocky letterforms with generous internal counters and a slightly inflated, “rubber” feel. Curves (C, G, S, O) are smooth and bulbous, while terminals often finish as blunt, softly squared ends; diagonals in V/W/X/Y keep a sturdy, wedge-like stance. Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions with simple, sturdy stems and tight apertures, maintaining an even, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its chunky rhythm and rounded geometry can carry personality. It also works well for signage and playful editorial callouts, particularly when set with ample tracking or generous line spacing to keep counters open.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, reading more like hand-cut signage than a strict modern grotesk. Its chunky shapes and rounded finishing give it a toy-like, humorous character that feels inviting and bold without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice by combining compact proportions with softened corners and simplified, highly legible silhouettes. The consistent stroke weight and rounded finishing emphasize approachability and immediacy for attention-grabbing typography.
Spacing appears tuned for impact: the heavy mass and compact widths create strong word shapes and high contrast against the background at display sizes. Numerals match the same chunky geometry and rounded treatment, supporting consistent headline setting.
