Sans Other Ofvy 5 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'FX Neofara' by Differentialtype, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Kuunari' by Melvastype, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans with squared proportions, blunt terminals, and a strongly geometric, rectilinear build. Curves are minimized and often resolved as chamfered corners, producing octagonal counters and angular joins (notably in O/Q and rounded forms). Strokes stay consistently thick, with compact apertures and tight interior spaces that give the alphabet a dense, punchy rhythm. Overall widths vary per letter but remain disciplined, with a tall, vertical stance and simplified, boxy silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where impact and firmness are desired—posters, headlines, sports or team-style branding, packaging titles, and bold wayfinding or labeling. It performs especially well at medium-to-large sizes where the angular details and tight counters remain clear.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with an industrial and athletic flavor. Its hard angles and compact counters evoke signage, equipment labeling, and retro display lettering, reading as bold, functional, and slightly militaristic without becoming ornamental.
Likely intended as a compact, high-impact display sans that maximizes visual weight in a tight horizontal footprint. The consistent chamfered geometry suggests a goal of creating a rugged, engineered look that stays legible and iconic for titles and marks.
The design leans on chamfers and notches to articulate shapes (especially in diagonals and joins), which adds a subtle stencil-like edge while staying fully solid. Numerals match the same block construction and feel built for impact, with strong baseline anchoring and high contrast against negative space at larger sizes.
