Sans Other Ofba 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Plasma' by Corradine Fonts, and 'Digital TS' by TypeShop Collection (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, geometric sans with square proportions, sharply chamfered corners, and frequent notches that give many strokes a cut-out, modular feel. Counters are predominantly rectangular and compact, and curves are largely avoided in favor of straight segments and angled joins. The lowercase follows the same rigid construction as the uppercase, with simplified forms and occasional step-like terminals. Overall spacing reads tight and sturdy, producing a strong, pixel-adjacent texture without being strictly monospaced.
Best suited to display settings where impact and a constructed aesthetic are desired—headlines, posters, title cards, logos/wordmarks, and gaming or tech interface elements. It can also work for short labels on packaging or signage where a rugged, geometric voice helps the message stand out.
The letterforms convey a techno-industrial tone with a retro arcade flavor. Its hard angles and cut-in details feel engineered and utilitarian, suggesting signage, machinery labels, or game UI rather than editorial text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a modular, cut-corner construction that stays coherent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The notched terminals and squared counters are likely meant to evoke a fabricated, digital-industrial sensibility while remaining highly legible at large sizes.
Diagonal glyphs like A, K, V, W, X, and Y use steep, slabby diagonals with clipped vertices, reinforcing a faceted, mechanical rhythm. Numerals are similarly squared and compact, keeping the overall palette consistent across alphanumerics.
