Sans Other Ohba 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bunken Tech Sans' by Buntype and 'Digital Sans Now' by Elsner+Flake (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, square-built sans with strongly rectilinear outlines and crisp, right-angled terminals. Counters tend toward rectangular openings, with a modular, pixel-adjacent construction and a consistent, stencil-like economy of shapes. Diagonals are used sparingly but decisively (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y), while many curves are replaced by chamfers or squared forms. The lowercase follows the same boxy logic, with compact bowls and simplified joins, creating a rigid rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for large-size settings where its blocky geometry can read cleanly—titles, posters, logos, packaging, and interface labels. It also fits gaming and tech contexts where a constructed, digital aesthetic is desirable; for longer text, it will perform best in short bursts or UI-sized callouts with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels digital and engineered, evoking arcade graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its strict geometry and blunt massing project a no-nonsense, technical attitude with a retro-computing edge.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a modular, squared construction, prioritizing a digital/industrial voice and strong silhouette clarity. The simplified, geometric forms suggest an aim toward system-like consistency and high-impact display use.
Distinctive details include squared O/Q forms, a notched or angular treatment in several glyphs, and numerals that read like segmented, machined symbols rather than traditional text figures. The texture is dense and attention-grabbing, favoring impact over subtlety in continuous reading.
