Sans Other Lyto 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'FS Joey' and 'FS Joey Paneuropean' by Fontsmith, 'Brignell Square' by IB TYPE Inc., 'NuOrder' and 'Syke' by The Northern Block, and 'Obvia' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with pronounced stencil breaks and cut-in notches that segment many strokes. Forms are largely geometric and upright, with squared terminals and occasional angled joins, creating a chiseled, cutout silhouette. Stroke weight is consistently dense, but the counters and apertures are shaped by the internal gaps, producing a distinctive, broken rhythm across the alphabet. Lowercase follows the same construction with simplified, sturdy shapes and a tall presence that keeps small letters visually assertive.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short statements where its stencil texture can be read clearly. It also fits packaging, labels, signage, and props where an industrial or military-marking feel is desired, especially in high-contrast single-color applications.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking sprayed stencils, shipping marks, and equipment labeling. Its deliberate interruptions and chunky shapes add a raw, workmanlike energy that reads as pragmatic and bold rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans voice with a built-in stencil effect, prioritizing impact and a rugged, utilitarian texture. The consistent, segmented construction suggests use in attention-grabbing display typography and marking-style graphics.
The stencil logic varies by glyph, so texture becomes a key feature: words develop a jagged, mechanical pattern as the breaks alternate from letter to letter. At text sizes the gaps remain a defining detail, making it better suited to display settings than dense reading.
