Sans Other Myrir 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Leco 1976' by CarnokyType, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Block' by Stefan Stoychev (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with compact proportions and broadly squared silhouettes softened by rounded outer corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many joins resolve into right angles and stepped notches rather than smooth curves. Counters are small and often square or rectangular, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The lowercase follows the same modular logic as the caps, with simplified forms and minimal differentiation between similar shapes, emphasizing a constructed, stencil-like rhythm.
Best suited for short, prominent text where impact and character matter: headlines, poster titles, logotypes, and display branding. It also fits game interfaces, tech event graphics, and product packaging where a retro-futuristic, modular look is desired. For longer passages, the dense counters and constructed shapes may be more effective at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels retro-digital and arcade-like, with a chunky, game-UI presence that reads as mechanical and engineered. Its softened corners keep it from feeling harsh, lending a friendly, toy-like edge to an otherwise industrial, techno voice.
The font appears designed to evoke a modular, machine-made aesthetic—prioritizing bold presence, repeatable geometry, and a distinctive silhouette over traditional humanist readability. Its stepped details and squared counters suggest an intention to reference digital lettering and arcade-era display forms while keeping the texture cohesive across cases and numerals.
The design relies on repeated geometric motifs—square apertures, inset cuts, and flat terminals—which creates strong consistency across letters and numerals. The figures appear similarly wide and blocky, suited to punchy readouts rather than delicate typographic nuance.
