Sans Other Obma 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Futurik' by Grontype, 'Informational Sign JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Octin College' by Typodermic, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans built from hard-edged, chamfered forms with squared counters and frequent corner notches. Curves are largely eliminated in favor of octagonal geometry, producing a rigid, machined rhythm and strong rectangular silhouettes. Counters tend to be small and boxy (notably in O/0, P, R, a, e), and many joins terminate in clipped diagonals that read like cut metal. Lowercase follows the same construction as the uppercase, with simplified bowls and straight-sided stems; spacing appears tight, emphasizing dense texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where impact and a mechanical voice are desired: posters, esports or arcade branding, game titles and UI labels, product marks, and packaging callouts. It can work for short bursts of text at larger sizes, but the dense, angular detailing and tight rhythm may reduce comfort for extended reading.
The overall tone is rugged and synthetic, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era display type, and utilitarian sci‑fi interfaces. Its sharp cuts and compact massing convey toughness and urgency, with a distinctly retro-tech flavor rather than a neutral contemporary feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hard-surfaced look through consistent chamfering and squared counters, prioritizing strong silhouette recognition and a constructed, machine-cut aesthetic over smooth readability.
Several characters lean toward stencil or cut-out logic through internal rectangular apertures and sharp notches, which helps separation at large sizes but increases visual noise in long lines. Numerals are similarly faceted, with the 0 rendered as an octagonal ring and the 2/3 showing strong horizontal slicing that reinforces the mechanical aesthetic.
