Sans Other Hiva 7 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, reverse italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'DR Krapka Square' by Dmitry Rastvortsev (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with a consistent reverse-italic slant and crisp, rectilinear contours. Strokes are formed from stepped, pixel-like segments and hard notches, creating a fractured silhouette and a jagged baseline/edge rhythm. Counters are mostly angular and compact, with squared apertures and occasional cut-in corners that read like digital “tears” through the forms. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, favoring bold shapes over smooth curves, and the numerals follow the same cut, segmented geometry.
Works best for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, gaming/stream overlays, album or single artwork, and event promotion graphics with a tech or dystopian tone. It can also serve for bold section headers or logos where the glitch-cut construction is a defining brand cue, but it is less comfortable for extended reading at small sizes.
The font communicates a hacked, digital tension—part arcade pixel energy, part cyberpunk distortion. Its sharp stepping and sliced forms feel restless and kinetic, suggesting speed, interference, and industrial grit rather than calm neutrality.
The design appears intended to fuse a geometric sans foundation with pixel-stepped disruption and a reverse-italic lean, producing a deliberately distorted, high-energy display voice. The consistent chiseled cuts across uppercase, lowercase, and figures suggest a cohesive “glitch” system built for attention and attitude rather than quiet utility.
The reverse slant and stepped edges introduce strong directional movement, so letterfit and negative space can look intentionally uneven for effect. In longer lines, the jagged details become a dominant texture, making it more suited to display use where the cut geometry can be appreciated.
