Sans Other Bakis 4 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, short x-height font visually similar to 'Designator' by TEKNIKE (names referenced only for comparison).

A sharply rectilinear sans built from monoline strokes with squared corners and occasional 45° cuts. Counters tend to be boxy and open, with simplified apertures and flat terminals that keep the rhythm tight and mechanical. The uppercase feels more uniform and modular, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic constructions (notably single-storey forms and squared bowls), creating a slightly uneven but intentionally stylized texture. Numerals follow the same squared, segmented logic, reading clearly with strong right angles and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can read as a deliberate aesthetic: headlines, poster titles, UI/UX mockups, game/tech branding, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short blocks of copy when you want a distinctly digital texture, but it will be most effective at larger sizes where the squared counters and cut corners remain crisp.
The overall tone is synthetic and machine-made, evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi labeling, and retro arcade hardware. Its angular geometry and stencil-like gaps in certain forms lend a coded, engineered feel rather than a humanist or editorial voice.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, device-like construction into an all-purpose sans, prioritizing a futuristic silhouette and consistent monoline geometry over conventional text-type neutrality. Its distinctive glyph engineering suggests a focus on atmosphere—signage, interface labeling, and sci‑fi/tech communication—while keeping letterforms recognizable.
Diagonal strokes appear selectively (e.g., in forms like K, M/W, V, X), but the dominant impression is orthogonal construction and modular repetition. Spacing and shapes favor compact, sign-like silhouettes; some characters use unconventional details (such as squared inner notches or open corners) that heighten the techno character and can become prominent in longer text.
