Sans Other Obby 6 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Device' by Hanken Design Co. and 'Brocks' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, block-constructed sans with squared contours and predominantly right-angle geometry. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with tight counters and small rectangular apertures that give many letters a cut-out, almost stencil-like feel. Terminals are abrupt and flat, and several glyphs use stepped or notched joins instead of smooth curves, producing a pixel-adjacent rhythm. Overall spacing reads compact and efficient, with strongly rectangular silhouettes and minimal internal whitespace.
Best suited for high-impact display typography such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and branding that benefits from a technical or industrial voice. It also fits UI labels, game interfaces, and on-screen graphics where a retro-digital, modular look is desired. For long passages, it works more as short bursts—titles, callouts, or signage—where its compact counters won’t reduce readability.
The font conveys a utilitarian, machine-made attitude with a retro-digital edge. Its rigid, modular construction suggests control panels, arcade-era graphics, and industrial labeling, creating a bold, no-nonsense tone that feels both technical and playful in a nostalgic way.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, pixel-leaning construction into a solid, print-friendly display sans. By using squared curves, tight apertures, and uniform stroke weight, it aims to deliver maximum visual presence while maintaining a consistent engineered aesthetic across the character set.
Curved forms are largely rationalized into faceted shapes, so rounds (like O/C/G) appear squarish and engineered rather than geometric. The design emphasizes distinctive silhouettes over open counters, which increases impact at display sizes but can make dense text feel visually packed. Numerals follow the same block logic, reinforcing a consistent, system-like character across letters and figures.
