Sans Other Olre 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Invader' by Agny Hasya Studio and 'Exabyte' by Pepper Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, modular sans built from squared forms and consistent stroke thickness, with frequent chamfered corners that create a beveled, octagonal silhouette. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and curves are largely replaced by straight segments, giving many glyphs a stepped, pixel-like construction. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic with simplified bowls and short joins, while figures are similarly squared with distinctive cuts and notches that keep them visually differentiated at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its angular geometry can read clearly and set a strong voice. It also fits game/UI titling, tech-leaning branding, and packaging where a bold, constructed look is desired; for long-form text, the tight counters and rigid shapes may feel visually insistent.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking arcade and early-digital display lettering while still reading as a constructed sans rather than a true bitmap. Its sharp angles and tight interiors lend a purposeful, engineered feel that reads as tech-forward and slightly militaristic.
The design appears intended to translate a pixel/arcade sensibility into a clean, scalable outline font by using modular geometry and chamfered corners. It prioritizes impact and a distinctive, engineered texture over softness or typographic neutrality.
Spacing and rhythm feel display-oriented: the dense interior counters and strong corner treatments create a compact, punchy texture in text. Several glyphs lean on diagonal cuts (notably in joints and terminals) to avoid softness, reinforcing the faceted, machined aesthetic.
