Sans Other Ehlo 5 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Curvi Technocrat' by Mans Greback, 'Lekra SS' by Sensatype Studio, 'Bokis' by Sign Studio, and 'Goodland' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavily condensed, forward-slanted sans with chunky, rectangular proportions and sharp, cut-in corners. Strokes are broadly uniform and built from straight segments, with frequent diagonal shears that create a sense of speed. Counters are tight and geometric, often formed as narrow vertical slots; several joins show deliberate notch-like cutouts that read as internal “breaks” in the black mass. Overall spacing is compact and the rhythm is punchy, prioritizing solid silhouettes and crisp angles over softness or roundness.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and logos where a fast, aggressive voice is desired. It can work well for sports branding, gaming visuals, and bold packaging callouts, and is less appropriate for long-form text due to its tight counters and compact letterforms.
The tone is loud and assertive, with a kinetic, action-oriented feel. Its hard edges and compressed forms suggest machinery, motorsport, and high-impact display graphics, while the exaggerated slant adds urgency and momentum.
The design appears intended as a high-energy display sans that maximizes visual impact through compression, forward slant, and angular cut construction. Its consistent geometric vocabulary and intentional internal notches aim to deliver a distinctive, speed-driven look that remains recognizable in bold branding applications.
Distinctive split details appear in multiple letters and numerals, giving the face a stamped or engineered texture that stays consistent across the set. The dense ink coverage and narrow apertures make it most effective when allowed room to breathe in layout, especially at larger sizes.
