Sans Other Vema 14 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Ft Zeux' by Fateh.Lab, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Emmentaler' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tall lowercase proportions and a distinctly blocky silhouette. Strokes stay largely even, with softened corners and squared-off curves that give bowls and counters a carved, almost cutout feel. Terminals tend toward flat, squared endings, while internal apertures are narrow and sometimes notch-like, producing a tight rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. The figures and capitals follow the same condensed, chunky construction, reading cleanly at display sizes with a robust, ink-trap-adjacent ruggedness in tight joins and corners.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where compact width and high weight help text stay prominent. It can work well for logos and short brand phrases, especially when a retro-industrial or playful display voice is desired; for extended paragraphs, the dense counters and heavy texture may feel tight.
The tone feels bold and utilitarian with a friendly, retro edge—like industrial labeling filtered through a playful, toy-block aesthetic. Its condensed heft and rounded squareness make it attention-grabbing and slightly quirky rather than sleek or corporate.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a soft, approachable edge through rounded corners. The consistent, carved-looking construction suggests an intention to evoke vintage industrial or display typography with a contemporary, graphic simplicity.
The design relies on strong verticals and compact counters, creating high impact but a dense texture in longer lines. The overall effect is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with a deliberately geometric, cut-from-solid look.
