Sans Other Melel 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gimbal Egyptian' and 'Gimbal Grotesque' by AVP, 'Aspira' by Durotype, 'Ephemera Egyptian' by Ephemera Fonts, and 'Antry Sans' by Mans Greback (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded, swollen strokes and softly tapered terminals that create an intentionally uneven, hand-cut feel. Counters are small and often asymmetrical, and curves dominate over straight geometry, giving letters a slightly wobbly silhouette. The capitals are blocky and simplified, while the lowercase keeps single-storey forms and compact apertures, maintaining strong texture at large sizes. Figures follow the same chunky construction with rounded edges and dense interior space, prioritizing impact over fine detail.
Best suited to display contexts such as posters, headlines, storefront-style graphics, and playful packaging where strong black shapes and character are desirable. It can also work for short labels, badges, and merch graphics when set with generous tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone is bold and good-humored, with a cartoon signage energy that feels informal and approachable. Its bouncy outlines and soft shaping suggest a retro novelty vibe suited to fun, attention-grabbing messaging rather than neutrality.
Likely intended as a characterful display sans that delivers immediate visual punch with a friendly, handcrafted personality. The simplified shapes and rounded massing emphasize recognizability and charm in short-form text.
Stroke endings frequently flare or pinch subtly, adding a lively rhythm across words and making spacing feel intentionally irregular. The design reads best when given breathing room, as tight counters and thick joins can visually clog at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs.
