Sans Other Lyry 4 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Almarena Neue' by Almarena, 'AG Book W1G' by Berthold, 'Passenger Sans Cyrillic' by Indian Type Foundry, 'CG Triumvirate' by Monotype, and 'Generic' by More Etc (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with clear stencil construction throughout: most letters are formed from large rounded-rectangle masses interrupted by consistent internal breaks and notches. Corners are softly radiused rather than sharp, and stroke endings feel clipped, producing a cut-out, sprayed-through-template look. The rhythm is assertive and compact with prominent counters and simplified geometry; joins and diagonals (e.g., in K, M, N, V, W, X) keep a sturdy, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same segmented logic, with the 0 and 8 especially emphasizing the central stencil bridge.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and bold packaging where the stencil breaks can be appreciated at display sizes. It also fits labels, wayfinding, and prop/production graphics that benefit from an industrial marking aesthetic.
The font projects a functional, industrial tone associated with labeling, equipment markings, and tactical or warehouse graphics. Its broken strokes add grit and urgency, giving it a tough, street-and-utility character rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a recognizable stencil motif, balancing simplified sans letterforms with purposeful interruptions that suggest paint masks, cut vinyl, or stamped/marked surfaces.
The stencil gaps are a defining feature and are applied consistently enough to read as a system, not random distress. Because the breaks reduce continuous stroke area, small sizes and dense settings may lose clarity, while larger sizes emphasize its graphic punch and template-made personality.
