Sans Other Nyhi 9 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Quayzaar' by Test Pilot Collective, and 'Junosky' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply angular corners and frequent notches that create a cut-out, faceted silhouette. Strokes stay consistently thick, but the contours subtly taper and kink, giving letters a hand-cut, mechanical feel rather than perfectly geometric rigidity. Counters are small and often rectangular, and many joins are squared off with stepped terminals and inset corners. The lowercase follows the same modular logic as the caps, with simplified bowls and arms that read as compact, engineered shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, game/title screens, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for brief display text where its notched geometry can be appreciated, but it’s less ideal for long passages or small UI sizes due to tight counters and dense color.
The overall tone feels assertive and game-like, mixing retro arcade energy with an industrial, fabricated attitude. The notched details suggest stenciling or carved lettering, giving it a slightly aggressive, gadgetry character that reads as both playful and tough.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, modular display voice: a bold sans that feels cut from solid material, with purposeful notches and stepped corners that add character without relying on serifs or ornament. It prioritizes visual impact and recognizability over neutral readability.
In text, the dense black mass and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the distinctive cut-ins and stepped geometry stay crisp. The design’s rhythm is driven by repeated right angles and consistent edge treatment, which helps it remain cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
