Sans Other Olwi 4 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Nicomedia' by Artegra, 'Absalon' by Michael Nordstrom Kjaer, and 'Olney' by Philatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric, squared sans with heavy, monolinear strokes and crisp, orthogonal construction. Corners are frequently chamfered, producing a faceted, beveled look rather than true round joins. Counters tend toward rectangular forms, and many glyphs use notched or cut-in terminals that emphasize a modular, machined rhythm. The overall spacing reads compact and sturdy, with blocky silhouettes and a distinctly constructed, grid-driven feel.
Well-suited to display typography where impact and a technical aesthetic are desired: posters, headlines, branding marks, game titles and interface labels, and bold packaging callouts. It also works for short-form signage-style text where its squared counters and notched terminals reinforce an engineered, utilitarian voice.
The face conveys a utilitarian, high-impact tone that feels digital and engineered. Its angular cut-ins and boxy counters suggest retro-futuristic interfaces, arcade-era graphics, and industrial labeling, projecting a confident, technical attitude.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, industrial geometry into a compact display sans, prioritizing bold silhouettes, consistent rectangular counters, and chamfered corners for a distinctly techno-flavored identity.
Uppercase forms are especially rigid and sign-like, while lowercase keeps the same squared logic with simplified bowls and short, flat terminals. Numerals follow the same rectangular language for strong consistency in UI-like settings. The sharp interior corners and tight apertures can make dense paragraphs feel forceful; it reads best when given room or used at display sizes.
