Sans Other Amkan 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad' by Adobe, 'Leto Sans' by Glen Jan, 'Branding SF' by Latinotype, 'American Auto' by Miller Type Foundry, and 'Fact' by ParaType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with a deliberately uneven, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with softened corners and occasional wedge-like cut-ins that create a slightly chiseled silhouette. Letterforms lean on simple geometric masses (round bowls, sturdy stems) but avoid strict uniformity—curves, joins, and terminals vary subtly, producing a lively rhythm and a faintly wobbly texture in lines of text. Counters are relatively compact at this weight, and spacing reads as intentionally irregular, adding to the informal tone while keeping the overall shapes clear.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where personality matters: headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for playful editorial callouts or kids-oriented media where a friendly, handmade texture is desirable.
The font conveys a bold, upbeat personality that feels casual and mischievous rather than formal. Its bouncy irregularity and chunky forms suggest handmade signage, playful branding, and a retro cartoon sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with an approachable, informal voice. The intention appears to be a sturdy display sans that feels hand-shaped and expressive, prioritizing character and energy over strict geometric regularity.
Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy with simplified construction, while lowercase shows more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curved letters and diagonals), reinforcing the handcrafted impression. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded build and read clearly at display sizes.
