Sans Other Apfu 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hero Sandwich Ingredients' and 'Hero Sandwich Pro' by Comicraft, 'Grupi Sans' by Dikas Studio, and 'Otter' by Hemphill Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with chunky strokes and softened corners. Letterforms show a gentle, hand-cut irregularity: subtle tilts, slightly uneven curves, and small variations in internal counters that keep the texture lively. Shapes lean toward rounded bowls (O, C, G) with compact apertures, while verticals and diagonals remain sturdy and simplified, creating an overall solid, poster-like silhouette. Numerals match the same bold massing and simplified construction, maintaining consistent color in text.
Best suited to display contexts where strong presence and friendliness are desirable—headlines, posters, playful branding, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or calls-to-action when you want a bold, approachable voice, but the heavy color and lively forms are less ideal for extended reading at small sizes.
The face reads as upbeat and informal, with a buoyant rhythm that feels approachable rather than strict. Its slightly uneven, wobbly geometry adds personality and humor, giving it a handmade, cartoon-adjacent tone while staying clean enough to remain legible.
The design appears intended to provide an attention-grabbing, characterful sans that feels handmade without becoming messy. It prioritizes bold impact and a cheerful voice, using softened geometry and mild irregularities to stand apart from more neutral grotesks.
In longer sample text, the dense weight produces strong emphasis and a tight, graphic texture; the design’s small quirks (tilt and unevenness) become more noticeable at display sizes, where they function as a distinctive stylistic signature.
