Sans Other Ofby 2 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Grizzly Bear' by Match & Kerosene and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-constructed sans with heavy vertical stems and tightly controlled horizontal spans. Forms are built from straight, orthogonal segments with squared corners and occasional chamfered cuts, creating a crisp, engineered silhouette. Counters tend to be small and rectangular, and several glyphs use deliberate notches or internal cut-ins that read as stencil-like breaks. The rhythm is dense and punchy, with short crossbars and simplified joins that keep shapes rigid and modular across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for short display settings where impact and a mechanical aesthetic are desired—headlines, poster titles, logotypes, labels, and bold UI moments in games or tech-themed interfaces. It can also serve as a stylistic accent in branding systems that lean industrial or retro-digital.
The overall tone feels industrial and game-like, mixing utilitarian signage energy with a retro-digital, arcade sensibility. Its hard edges and cut-in details give it a tough, technical voice suited to bold, attention-grabbing messaging rather than subtle text color.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, using modular, rectilinear construction and strategic cut-ins to create a distinctive, stencil-adjacent identity. The consistent, squared geometry suggests an aim toward a technical, manufactured look that remains legible at display sizes.
Lowercase echoes the uppercase structure, emphasizing a squared, constructed feel over calligraphic movement. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown; the sample demonstrates strong presence but reduced openness in tight spaces due to the small counters and compressed internal apertures.
