Sans Other Ofba 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Ft Thyson' by Fateh.Lab, 'Midsole' and 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, and 'FTY Galactic VanGuardian' by The Fontry (names referenced only for comparison).

A blocky, square-shouldered sans with heavy rectangular forms and crisp 45° corner cuts. Strokes are consistently thick, with tight counters and a largely modular construction that favors straight segments over curves. The rhythm is compact and mechanical, with squared bowls (notably in O and Q) and hard terminals; small interior apertures (as in e, a, s) reinforce a dense, punchy texture. Numerals and capitals maintain a uniform, geometric presence, while lowercase retains the same angular logic for a cohesive, sign-like voice.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display where its dense, angular shapes can deliver impact and a technical mood. It can work well for game/UI labels, event posters, packaging callouts, and brand marks that want a rugged, geometric sans presence. For longer text, generous sizing and spacing would help maintain clarity due to the tight counters and compact apertures.
The font projects a rugged, engineered tone that reads as techno and arcade-adjacent, with a hint of industrial labeling. Its sharp geometry and constrained counters feel purposeful and utilitarian, lending a retro-digital character without becoming decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering a strong, modular sans voice with a retro-tech sensibility, prioritizing bold silhouette and consistent geometric logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Diagonal elements are used sparingly and primarily as chamfers and joins (e.g., K, V, W, X), keeping the overall texture firmly rectilinear. Punctuation and symbols shown (including the ampersand and question mark) follow the same squared construction, supporting consistent display use.
