Sans Other Abbim 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Astoria' by Alan Meeks, 'Antry Sans' by Mans Greback, 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, and 'Eastman Condensed' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with compact proportions and a consistently thick stroke. Letterforms mix squared-off terminals with broad curves, creating a sturdy, poster-like silhouette rather than a purely geometric or purely grotesque rhythm. Counters are relatively tight (notably in B, P, R, a, e), and many joins and shoulders are reinforced by generous thickness, giving the type a dense, solid color on the page. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with single-story shapes (a, g) and a straightforward, utilitarian construction that prioritizes impact and clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short phrases where the strong mass and compact shapes read as confident and attention-grabbing. It also fits logos, sports-oriented branding, packaging callouts, and bold editorial titling where a tough, workmanlike sans texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a slightly playful, retro-commercial feel. Its dense weight and chunky curves evoke sports branding, packaging, and headline typography where strength and immediacy are more important than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy, no-nonsense build: thick strokes, compact counters, and simplified shapes that hold together in large-scale display settings. The subtle mix of squared terminals and rounded bowls suggests an aim for strength without feeling overly cold or technical.
In longer lines the heavy texture dominates, and the tight internal spaces can start to close up, so careful sizing and generous spacing help preserve legibility. The numerals share the same compact, thickset construction, reinforcing a consistent, sign-ready voice across letters and figures.
