Sans Other Rebep 5 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Logx 10' by Fontsphere, 'MC Syntak' by Maulana Creative, and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, block-built sans with heavy, monoline strokes and sharply squared terminals. Forms are predominantly rectangular with chamfered and notched corners, producing a stenciled, machined rhythm rather than smooth curves. Counters are tight and often squared-off, and many joins are hard-angled, giving the face a rigid, engineered texture. The overall color is dense and uniform, with consistent stroke presence and compact internal spaces that emphasize verticality.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its angular construction can read as intentional character. It also fits sports branding, uniforms, and event graphics that benefit from a compact, forceful wordmark. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone—reminiscent of industrial marking, athletic numerals, and retro arcade or sci‑fi titling. Its crisp angles and cut-in details feel technical and forceful, with a slightly playful, game-like edge in the more geometric lowercase and numerals.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast-in-presence display voice through squared geometry and purposeful corner cuts. Its consistent, monoline construction and mechanical detailing suggest a focus on bold sign-like clarity and a distinctive, industrial-inspired silhouette.
The distinctive corner cutbacks and small notches create strong signature shapes that remain recognizable at display sizes. In longer text, the narrow proportions and tight counters can make word shapes feel compressed, so spacing and line length will influence readability more than with more open grotesks.
