Sans Other Abbas 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gotham' and 'Whitney' by Hoefler & Co., 'Taberna' by Latinotype, 'Avenir Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Akwe Pro' by ROHH, 'Corbert Compact' by The Northern Block, and 'Elysio' by Type Dynamic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, soft-edged sans with rounded corners, inflated curves, and subtly irregular stroke shaping that gives letters a hand-cut, slightly wobbly rhythm. Counters are generally open and generous (notably in O, e, and g), while terminals tend to finish with blunt, gently curved ends rather than sharp cuts. Uppercase forms read as simplified and blocky with occasional asymmetry, and the lowercase continues the same buoyant construction with compact joins and sturdy stems. Numerals match the mass and softness of the letters, leaning toward friendly, poster-oriented silhouettes rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where a friendly, energetic tone is desired. It can also work well for children’s products, events, and playful editorial accents, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its shapes stay clear.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a vintage display energy that feels lively and approachable. Its rounded weight and unevenness suggest a humorous, kid-friendly voice—more “handmade sign” than corporate system type.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that delivers strong visual weight with a handcrafted, whimsical feel. Its softened geometry and slightly varied forms aim to add warmth and personality while remaining broadly legible in attention-grabbing settings.
In the sample text, the dense color and lively outlines create strong presence at large sizes, while the irregularities become more noticeable and contribute to character. The letterforms maintain consistent heft across the set, prioritizing personality over strict typographic neutrality.
