Sans Other Obha 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Block' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Jetlab' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with squared silhouettes, hard corners, and frequent chamfered or notched cuts that create a machined, modular feel. Counters are tight and often rectangular, with simplified interior shapes and short ink traps at joins that keep the forms crisp at large sizes. Proportions are compact with a strong vertical stance, while widths vary by letter, producing a punchy rhythm rather than a strictly monospaced cadence. The overall texture is dark and uniform, prioritizing solid mass and clear pixel-adjacent geometry over fine detail.
Best suited to display typography where impact and graphic personality matter most—headlines, posters, title cards, and branding marks. It can also work for game UI or tech-themed layouts when set at generous sizes, where the notches and tight counters remain legible and the dense color becomes an asset.
The font projects a tough, mechanical attitude with a retro-digital edge, evoking arcade title screens, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interface graphics. Its blunt geometry and cut-in details give it an assertive, no-nonsense tone that feels loud and utilitarian at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a modular, cut-corner construction that reads as engineered and retro-digital. The consistent notching suggests a deliberate system for adding character while preserving sturdy, high-contrast letter blocks for attention-grabbing display use.
Diagonal strokes are minimized or rendered as stepped/chamfered joins, reinforcing the squared construction. Many glyphs include small internal notches and clipped corners that act as a consistent motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping the set feel intentionally systemized.
