Sans Other Ibbi 5 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Benn Beckman' by Factory738, 'Lemon Milk Pro' by Marsnev, 'Madera' by Monotype, and 'Gravita' by TipoType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy geometric sans with largely circular bowls and straight-sided stems, built from simplified, modular shapes. Many glyphs feature deliberate breaks and horizontal notches that read like stencil bridges or cutouts, creating a segmented, engineered look. Curves are broad and smooth, terminals are mostly flat, and diagonals (as in A, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and clean, producing a bold, graphic rhythm. The overall color is dense, but the recurring interior gaps and midline slits add pattern and differentiation, especially in round letters and numerals.
Well-suited to display applications where its segmented geometry can read clearly and add character—headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, product labels, and bold brand marks. It also fits UI or tech-themed graphics when used large enough for the internal breaks to remain distinct.
The font conveys a mechanical, industrial tone with a distinctly retro-futurist flavor—part factory stencil, part sci‑fi interface. The repeated cutlines introduce a coded, technical feel that suggests machinery, labeling, or constructed lettering rather than handwritten or humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a stencil-like, cut-and-assembled construction, using consistent notches to create a recognizable system across letters and numbers. The goal seems to be maximum visual impact and a distinctive industrial/tech identity while retaining straightforward, sans-based proportions.
The distinctive midline interruptions are especially prominent in rounded forms (C, G, O, Q and several numerals), where the breaks become a signature motif and a strong branding cue. In longer text the internal cutouts create a consistent texture that is eye-catching at display sizes, while the density of the shapes suggests best performance in headlines rather than small, continuous reading.
