Sans Other Ebja 10 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Procerus' by Artegra and 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans with squared proportions and aggressively chamfered corners that give most strokes an octagonal, cut-metal profile. Letterforms are built from straight segments with minimal curvature, producing compact counters and crisp internal notches; several glyphs show deliberate gaps and slits reminiscent of stencil bridges. Terminals are flat and abrupt, apertures are tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, favoring stacked blocks over open, airy shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event graphics, merchandise, labels, and bold packaging. It can also work for UI badges or signage where the message is brief and benefits from a rugged, stamped look.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone—mechanical and authoritative—while also reading as energetic and competitive. Its sharp facets and stencil-like interruptions evoke equipment labeling, athletic branding, and action-oriented display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while adding a fabricated, cut-out texture through chamfers and stencil-like breaks. Its consistent, hard-edged construction prioritizes visual force and a mechanical aesthetic over text readability.
At larger sizes the cut-ins and bridged details add character and texture, but the tight counters and compact apertures suggest reduced clarity at small sizes or in long passages. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled geometry, keeping headings and alphanumeric systems visually uniform.
