Sans Other Olgo 8 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Imagine Font' by Jens Isensee and 'Architype Van Doesburg' by The Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, grid-based sans built from square modules, with hard 90° corners and occasional stepped diagonals that read like pixel stair-steps. Strokes are consistently heavy and monoline, with rectangular counters and cut-ins that create a distinctly mechanical rhythm. Curves are largely avoided; rounded letters are rendered as squared forms (notably in O/Q/0), while diagonals (K/M/N/V/W/X/Y) are simplified into blocky, faceted joins. The overall spacing and silhouettes feel intentionally modular and screen-friendly, emphasizing crisp edges and bold internal geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its modular character can be a feature: game titles and UI labels, sci‑fi or tech-themed posters, bold editorial headings, and product/packaging graphics that want a digital-industrial edge. It can work for brief blocks of text at larger sizes, where the stepped details remain clear and intentional.
The font projects a retro-digital, arcade-like tone—confident, utilitarian, and game-interface adjacent. Its block logic and pixel-like diagonals evoke early computer graphics, sci‑fi UI, and hardware labeling, giving text a punchy, tech-forward presence.
The design appears intended to translate pixel/bitmap aesthetics into a strong, display-oriented sans with consistent weight and a strict geometric grid. Its goal is less about neutrality and more about delivering a distinctive retro-computing voice with sturdy, readable silhouettes at display sizes.
Distinctive, stylized constructions (such as the squared bowl shapes and the stepped diagonals) prioritize character over smooth readability, especially in longer passages. Numerals share the same modular language, with forms that resemble segmented or bitmap-inspired figures, reinforcing the cohesive, system-like feel.
