Sans Other Mody 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Linotte' by JCFonts, 'Mister London' by Sarid Ezra, 'Betm Rounded' by Typesketchbook, and 'Remissis' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with soft, blobby terminals and a distinctly modular construction. Many glyphs feature consistent vertical slit cut-ins that read like stencil bridges or inline notches, creating strong internal rhythm and pronounced counters. The shapes lean geometric overall, with broad curves on C/O and compact, simplified joins on letters like M, N, and W. Spacing and silhouettes favor bold, poster-like clarity, while the repeated cut detail adds texture and breaks up large black areas.
Best suited for display sizes where the stencil-like cut-ins remain crisp: headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging fronts, and short signage. It can also work for bold UI labels or section headers when used sparingly, but the strong decorative cuts make it less ideal for long-form text.
The font conveys a playful, mid-century display energy with a slightly industrial, stencil-like twist. Its chunky forms feel friendly and approachable, while the repeated vertical cuts add a graphic, decorative beat that suggests signage, packaging, and stylized branding.
The design appears intended to offer a bold, attention-grabbing sans with a signature inline/stencil detail that adds personality and brandability. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent decorative rhythm over neutrality, aiming for memorable impact in display contexts.
The distinctive slit motif is especially visible in rounded and vertical-stem letters (e.g., O, Q, D, E, H, and several lowercase forms), producing a cohesive family look. Numerals follow the same approach, with strong, simplified silhouettes and occasional internal cuts that keep the heavy weight from feeling overly dense.
