Sans Other Obdi 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Offroad' by Grype, 'Angulosa M.8' by Ingo, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Amboy' by Parkinson, and 'Acorna' and 'Caviara' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, modular sans built from squared forms and sharp corners, with consistent stroke weight and minimal curvature. Counters are rectangular and often tightly enclosed, creating dense, compact silhouettes. Many joins and terminals are chamfered or notched, giving a cut-metal, stencil-like feel while keeping the overall construction geometric. The lowercase largely mirrors the uppercase in structure, reinforcing a uniform, display-oriented rhythm and a distinctly mechanical texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and branding that benefits from a bold, mechanical aesthetic. It also fits game interfaces, tech or hardware-themed graphics, signage, and packaging where strong shape and high impact matter more than long-form readability.
The tone is assertive and machine-like, evoking industrial labeling, retro digital systems, and arcade-era graphics. Its hard edges and tight counters create a punchy, no-nonsense voice that reads as technical and utilitarian, with a stylized, game/console energy.
The font appears intended as a stylized display sans that translates geometric, block-constructed letterforms into a cohesive system with industrial and digital overtones. Its design prioritizes impact, uniform modularity, and distinctive cut-in details to create a recognizable texture in short texts.
At larger sizes the notches and squared counters add character and help differentiate similar shapes, while at smaller sizes the dense interiors can make long passages feel dark and compact. The design’s consistent modular logic produces strong patterning across lines, especially in all-caps settings and numerals.
