Sans Other Aphu 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Chamelton' by Alex Khoroshok, 'Kelson' by Armasen, 'Organetto' by Latinotype, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps–friendly sans with compact counters, squared shoulders, and a largely straight-sided construction softened by rounded corners. Multiple glyphs feature deliberate interior notches and cut-ins that read like stencil bridges or ink-trap style reliefs, creating a distinctive segmented texture without breaking overall legibility. Curves (C, O, S) stay broad and sturdy, while joins and terminals are blunt and vertical, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in text. Numerals are similarly robust and geometric, with simplified forms and tight apertures that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
Best suited to display applications where impact and personality matter: headlines, posters, sports and team branding, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when set large enough to keep the interior cuts from visually filling in.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial, sports-signage energy. The repeated cut-in details add a rugged, engineered character that feels purposeful and slightly retro, lending a confident, no-nonsense voice to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and instant recognition while distinguishing itself from standard grotesks through consistent stencil/ink-trap-like cut details. It aims for a rugged, engineered look that holds up as a bold branding voice across large-format display settings.
In continuous text the narrow apertures and internal cut-ins create strong texture and pronounced patterning, which can be an advantage for branding but may require generous size and spacing for maximum clarity. The design particularly emphasizes uppercase presence, with lowercase echoing the same blocky, constructed logic.
