Sans Other Ifva 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, 'Bugleboy' by Stiggy & Sands, and 'Kenyan Coffee' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted display sans with condensed proportions and a compact, forward-leaning rhythm. Letterforms are built from bold, geometric strokes with sharp corners and frequent oblique cuts on terminals, producing a chiseled, speed-driven silhouette. Counters tend to be small and squared-off, and several joins are tightly closed, giving the texture a dense, mechanical feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same angular logic, maintaining a consistent, high-impact color in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark work where impact and speed are desired. It also fits sports and motorsport identities, game titles, and promotional graphics, especially when set large for maximum punch.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and assertive, evoking motorsport graphics, arcade-era titling, and industrial labeling. The steep slant and clipped terminals add urgency and motion, making the type feel engineered for attention rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-energy, condensed display voice with a mechanical, cut-metal aesthetic. Its consistent angular terminals and dense counters prioritize visual force and motion, aligning it with titling and branding applications.
In the sample text, the strong slant and narrow set create a distinctive zig-zag baseline rhythm and tight word shapes. The bold massing and small apertures favor short, punchy strings, while longer passages become visually intense and best handled with generous tracking and leading.
