Sans Other Aksi 8 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Formata' and 'Formata W1G' by Berthold, 'FF Meta Headline' by FontFont, 'Whitney' by Hoefler & Co., 'Clearface Gothic' and 'Frutiger Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, and 'Plau Redonda' by Plau (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softened corners, drawn with subtly uneven contours that create a hand-cut, organic feel. Strokes are broadly uniform but not mechanically consistent, with gentle bulges and slight tapering that make curves and joins feel lively rather than geometric. Counters are relatively small and tight, and overall spacing feels punchy and dense, emphasizing silhouette clarity at display sizes. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-story forms and short, blocky terminals that reinforce the chunky rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, splashy headlines, event graphics, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a friendly, characterful voice. It can also work well for children’s content, casual promotions, and signage where bold shapes and immediate legibility are prioritized over extended reading comfort.
The font reads upbeat and informal, with a playful, slightly mischievous tone reminiscent of comic lettering and retro novelty signage. Its wobble and soft, inflated shapes make it feel approachable and humorous rather than strict or corporate.
The likely intention is a maximal-impact display sans that feels handmade and fun, trading strict regularity for personality and a lively rhythm. It appears designed to create memorable word shapes in large settings and to inject warmth and humor into branding and editorial titles.
The design leans strongly on distinctive silhouettes—especially in round letters and diagonals—so it holds attention in headlines, but the tight apertures and heavy mass can reduce clarity in long passages or at small sizes.
