Sans Other Addis 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Buket' by Ahmet Altun, 'DR Agu' and 'DR Agu Sans' by Dmitry Rastvortsev, 'Magenos Soft' by Graphite, 'Mikado' by HVD Fonts, and 'Remissis' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared counters and subtly uneven stroke edges that give it a hand-cut, slightly wobbly rhythm. Letterforms are compact and blocky with generous curves and occasional angular breaks, producing a lively, imperfect texture rather than strict geometric regularity. Terminals tend to be blunt and softened, with open apertures kept clear enough for display use; the overall silhouette stays sturdy while allowing small variations in width and curvature across characters.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and expressive branding where a friendly, playful tone is desired. It can work for social graphics and titling, especially at larger sizes where the irregular edges and rounded geometry become part of the charm.
The font reads cheerful and informal, with a handcrafted, cartoon-like energy. Its unevenness and chunky forms add personality and approachability, making text feel casual, fun, and a bit mischievous rather than corporate or restrained.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a deliberately imperfect, handmade feel. It prioritizes personality and visual punch over strict uniformity, aiming to make words look energetic and fun in attention-grabbing contexts.
In text settings the dense weight creates strong color and tight internal spacing, so it benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing. The figures and capitals keep the same playful construction as the lowercase, helping headings and short phrases feel cohesive and punchy.
