Sans Other Ifva 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Brookside JNL' and 'Table Wood JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Mongoose' by Kostic, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, right-leaning display sans with heavy, even stroke weight and a rigid, engineered feel. Forms are built from angular strokes with frequent chamfered corners and wedge-like terminals, producing a faceted silhouette rather than rounded curves. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be narrow, while verticals dominate and diagonals feel steep and purposeful. The overall rhythm is dense and forward-moving, with small irregularities in width and shaping that add a slightly idiosyncratic, cut-metal character.
Best suited to high-impact headlines, poster titling, and branding that needs speed and aggression—especially sports, motorsport, streetwear, or energy-focused packaging. It can work for short subheads or callouts where compact width is useful, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text due to dense counters and high visual intensity.
The tone is forceful and energetic, evoking motorsport graphics, action posters, and bold headline typography. Its sharp corners and slanted stance create a sense of speed and urgency, while the condensed proportions keep it intense and space-efficient. The look reads as retro-industrial and assertive rather than neutral or soft.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while signaling motion and strength through an oblique stance and angular, chamfered construction. Its consistent heavy weight and faceted terminals suggest a deliberate display role aimed at bold, attention-grabbing typography.
The uppercase appears particularly tall and commanding, and the numerals echo the same faceted construction with angular bends and tight counters. Because many shapes rely on narrow openings and steep diagonals, the strongest visual impact comes at larger sizes where the internal spaces remain clear.
