Sans Other Ohmu 7 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Massiva GrotesQ' by Dawnland, 'Register' by Device, and 'Angulosa M.8' and 'Maiers Nr. 8 Pro' by Ingo (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with frequent clipped diagonals that create an octagonal silhouette. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of squared bowls and rectangular counters, giving letters like O, Q, and 0 a boxy, cut-corner construction. Terminals are flat and abrupt, and several joins introduce notched, wedge-like details that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. The overall rhythm is compact and modular, with distinctive shapes for diagonals in K, N, V/W, X, and Z and a clearly angular approach to punctuation and numerals.
Best suited for display contexts where the angular construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, and short statements. It also fits game UI, sci-fi/tech themes, and packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, engineered aesthetic.
The font conveys a tough, machine-made tone—confident, utilitarian, and slightly retro-digital. Its sharp geometry and cut-corner forms evoke arcade graphics, sci-fi interfaces, and industrial labeling, projecting a sense of precision and hardened impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a modular, cut-corner geometry that reads as technical and hard-edged. By minimizing curvature and emphasizing squared counters and notched joins, it aims for a distinctive, industrial voice that stands apart from conventional grotesques.
Letterforms lean on strong interior negative shapes, making counters feel squared and “slot-like,” which increases the technical flavor but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The uppercase presence is especially commanding, while lowercase retains the same modular logic for a consistent, constructed texture in text settings.
