Sans Other Obpa 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Bhelt' by Fateh.Lab, 'Maken' by Graphicxell, 'POLIGRA' by Machalski, and 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared geometry softened by rounded corners and frequent notched cuts. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, while many joins and terminals show deliberate bite-outs that create a stencil-like, segmented feel. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the overall rhythm alternates between broad rounded forms (C, O, U) and angular, slabby shapes (E, F, T). The lowercase is sturdy and upright with simplified bowls and short apertures, keeping a dense silhouette that holds together strongly at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where bold shapes and distinctive letterforms are an advantage. It can also work for sports or event graphics and short callouts, but the tight counters and stylized notches make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The notched construction and chunky proportions give the face a confident, industrial presence with a playful edge. It reads like a display style tuned for impact—slightly retro, a bit game-like, and intentionally unconventional rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through dense, simplified forms and a signature notched construction that adds personality without relying on ornament. It aims to be a statement sans for display typography, emphasizing recognizability and texture in large-format settings.
Distinctive cut-ins appear across multiple letters (notably in B, E, S, and some diagonals), creating visual texture and helping separate similar shapes. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with strong, poster-friendly silhouettes and tight interior spaces that favor large-size use.
