Sans Other Remar 4 is a very bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Moho Condensed' by John Moore Type Foundry, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Motte' by TypeClassHeroes (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from tall, compressed letterforms with a strong vertical rhythm and tight internal spacing. Strokes are predominantly straight and slab-like with sharp corners and small cut-in notches at terminals, creating a chiseled, engineered silhouette without traditional serifs. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, and the joins favor hard angles over curves, giving the alphabet a rigid, architectural feel. The overall texture is dark and forceful, with consistent, upright construction and a compact footprint that keeps lines looking dense and orderly.
Best suited for large-scale display settings where its compressed width and dense color can create striking blocks of text—posters, headlines, logos, labels, and signage. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when a stern, industrial voice is desired, but the tight counters make it less comfortable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The design reads as stern and industrial, with a retro display energy that feels at home in machinery, signage, and high-impact headlines. Its narrow apertures and angular detailing create a dramatic, no-nonsense tone that can feel both vintage and futuristic depending on context. The condensed, towering proportions contribute to a sense of urgency and command.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact, condensed display sans with a carved, notched terminal motif and rigid geometry, optimized for bold visual presence and strong vertical rhythm. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and poster readability over softness or neutrality.
The glyph set shows deliberate geometric simplification in rounded letters (like O/C/G) and a preference for rectangular counters throughout, which enhances the poster-like color and strong patterning in text. The lowercase maintains the same rigid language as the uppercase, and the numerals echo the condensed, squared-off construction for a cohesive set.
