Sans Other Abbov 12 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad' by Adobe, 'Pump' by ITC, 'Dencors' by Letterhend, 'Bauhaus Arabic' and 'Behtab' by Naghi Naghachian, and 'Eigerdals' by insigne (names referenced only for comparison).

A very heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and soft, swollen-looking bowls. Strokes are broadly uniform with low apparent contrast, and terminals are blunt with subtly rounded corners rather than sharp cuts. Counters are relatively tight, giving letters a dense, poster-ready color, while curves stay smooth and geometric. Several lowercase forms feel simplified and chunky, with short ascenders/descenders and a sturdy, almost "molded" silhouette that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, short blurbs, and loud typographic moments where a friendly, high-impact presence is desired. It can work well for packaging, entertainment branding, event posters, and logo wordmarks, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded geometry stays clear.
The overall tone is warm, upbeat, and slightly whimsical, closer to a toy-box or snack-brand voice than a formal corporate one. Its bold, cushioned shapes read as approachable and energetic, with a retro display flavor that suggests mid-century signage and cartoon title cards.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while remaining approachable, using rounded geometry and simplified forms to create a bold, characterful sans for display typography.
In the sample text, the strong weight creates a solid text block and emphasizes word shapes more than internal detail; tighter counters and heavy joins can make long passages feel dense. Numerals match the letters in weight and roundness, supporting headline and callout use where impact is the priority.
