Sans Other Pyda 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ramsey' by Associated Typographics, 'Diamante EF' by Elsner+Flake, and 'Neuborn' by HIRO.std (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with squared counters, flat terminals, and a strong rectilinear skeleton. Strokes appear consistently heavy and monolinear, with corners generally sharp and inside joints kept crisp, producing a stencil-like, modular feel without actual breaks. Curves are largely minimized or simplified into squared bowls; apertures are tight and counters stay relatively small, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text. Numerals and lowercase echo the same geometric construction, with a single-storey “a” and similarly boxy forms across the set.
Best suited to display contexts where strong presence is desired: headlines, posters, title cards, branding marks, and bold packaging panels. It also fits wayfinding or industrial-style signage when used at larger sizes with comfortable spacing to preserve internal clarity.
The overall tone is mechanical and forceful, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era graphics, and utilitarian signage. Its rigid geometry and compact rhythm read as confident and functional rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a modular, engineered look, prioritizing bold silhouette and consistent geometry over softness or detailed contrast.
In the sample text, the uniform stroke weight and tight interior space create a dark, continuous typographic color, especially in longer passages. The squared construction helps maintain clarity at display sizes, while the dense shapes can feel heavy in smaller settings or when tracking is tight.
