Sans Other Ibve 5 is a bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'Araboto' by FarahatDesign, 'Mazot' by Hurufatfont, and 'Core Sans E' and 'Core Sans ES' by S-Core (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with prominent stencil-like breaks and internal cutouts that interrupt bowls, counters, and key strokes. Forms are largely geometric with squared terminals and a tight, compact rhythm, but many letters are split by vertical or angled gaps that create a modular, assembled feel. Curves (C, G, O, S) appear as thick arcs with deliberate interruptions, while straighter letters (E, F, H, N) keep broad, flat bars and consistent stroke weight. Figures follow the same segmented logic—most notably the 0 and 8—with bold silhouettes designed for strong presence at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where the segmented, stencil-like detailing can read clearly—posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and bold branding marks. It works particularly well in contexts that benefit from an industrial or technical aesthetic, such as wayfinding, product stamps, and thematic graphics.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, with a rugged, engineered character reminiscent of labeling, equipment marking, and stencil applications. The deliberate breaks add a tactical, no-nonsense attitude and convey a sense of function-first construction rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong sans foundation while adding a distinctive stencil/cutout mechanism for instant recognizability. Its consistent segmentation across letters and numerals suggests a focus on rugged display impact and an engineered, practical voice.
The stencil gaps are a defining feature and can create distinctive word shapes, but they also introduce visual noise in dense text, especially where multiple vertical cuts align in sequence. The lowercase includes simplified, sturdy constructions that match the uppercase’s blocky logic, keeping the family feeling consistent across mixed-case settings.
