Sans Other Ofsa 1 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Magnitudes' by DuoType, 'Pcast' by Jipatype, and 'Mountain' by Volcano Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and crisp, squared corners. Forms are strongly rectilinear with frequent 45° cuts and notched joins that create a chiseled, stencil-like rhythm without actual breaks. Counters are small and geometric (often square or rectangular), and curves are largely minimized in favor of faceted, angular construction. The overall texture is dense and uniform, with tight interior spaces and emphatic verticals that keep silhouettes rigid and architectural.
Best suited to large sizes where the angular detailing and tight counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short bursts of UI or game/tech titling. It can also work for bold labels and merchandise graphics where a compact, industrial voice is desired.
The tone is bold and mechanical, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi, and industrial labeling aesthetics. Its sharp geometry and compact fit read as commanding and energetic, prioritizing impact over softness or nuance.
The design appears intended as an impact-oriented, geometric display face that delivers a rigid, machine-made feel. By relying on modular straight strokes, squared counters, and notched corners, it aims to evoke retro-futuristic and industrial cues while staying highly legible at headline scale.
Distinctive corner bites and stepped terminals add personality and help differentiate similar shapes, especially in uppercase. Numerals follow the same squared logic, producing a consistent, signage-like set that feels engineered rather than calligraphic.
