Sans Other Ofdi 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bantat', 'Nanueng', and 'Pcast' by Jipatype; 'Brocks' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut; and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-constructed sans with strongly rectangular counters and crisp, orthogonal corners. Strokes are thick and uniform, with minimal modulation, and many joins are cut with small step-like notches that create a machined, stencil-adjacent feel without fully breaking forms. The proportions are condensed and tall, with a steady rhythm in verticals; bowls and curves are largely squared off, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X) remain straight and sturdy. Numerals follow the same architectural logic, built from stacked horizontals and verticals with tight interior spaces.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and signage where its dense, compact shapes can carry visual weight. It works especially well when space is tight and a strong, architectural presence is desired, rather than for extended small-size text.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward industrial signage and bold display typography. Its squared geometry and compressed stance read as disciplined and mechanical, with a slight retro/arcade poster energy when set in large sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using squared forms and uniform stroke weight to create a bold, engineered aesthetic. Its stepped cuts and tight counters suggest a deliberate move away from neutral sans forms toward a more constructed, industrial display voice.
Counters are intentionally small and rectangular, so the texture becomes dense and dark in longer lines. Several glyphs show distinctive corner stepping and clipped terminals, which adds character but can also create a rugged, engineered cadence across words.
