Sans Other Ebni 3 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Kaneda Gothic' by Dharma Type, 'Etrusco Now' by Italiantype, 'PF Mellon' by Parachute, 'PG Gothique' and 'PG Grotesque' by Paulo Goode, and 'Monopol' by Suitcase Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy condensed sans with compact proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with softened corners and occasional notch-like cut-ins at joins and terminals that give the shapes a stamped, cutout feel. Counters are tight and often rounded-oval, and the rhythm is dense with minimal interior whitespace. Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and rectangular, while lowercase keeps simplified constructions with sturdy stems and short apertures, maintaining a consistent, weighty color across text.
Best suited for display settings where impact is the priority—headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short subheads or labels when space is tight and a dense, high-ink look is desirable, but the tight counters suggest avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a distinctly retro display flavor. Its chunky silhouettes and subtle notches create a playful, slightly industrial character that feels at home in mid-century inspired graphics and energetic headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in a condensed width while retaining friendly, rounded shapes. The notch-like detailing and simplified geometry appear intended to add personality and improve differentiation between dense forms without sacrificing the solid, poster-ready texture.
The design emphasizes silhouette over detail: apertures stay small, terminals tend toward flat cuts, and the narrow set makes words stack into a strong vertical texture. Numerals match the same compact, heavyweight construction, with rounded bowls and tight counters that read best at larger sizes.
