Sans Other Ebta 3 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'MultiType Pixel' by Cyanotype, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Motte' by TypeClassHeroes, 'Aeroscope' by Umka Type, and 'Muscle Cars' by Vozzy (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with squared bowls, flat terminals, and chamfered corners that create a cut, machined silhouette. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with small counterforms and tight interior apertures that emphasize mass and solidity. Curves are minimized into squarish arcs (notably in C, O, and S), and many joins resolve into abrupt angles, giving the letters a rigid, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same compact, boxed construction, reading clearly with a sturdy, sign-like presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, team or event branding, and compact logo wordmarks. It can also work well on packaging or labels where a rugged, industrial feel is desired and space is limited. For extended reading or small UI text, it will perform better when given generous size and spacing.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone—evoking industrial labeling, sports branding, and arcade or action-oriented graphics. Its dense shapes and squared geometry feel assertive and functional, leaning more mechanical than friendly. Overall, it reads as bold and energetic, with a slightly retro, utilitarian edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using squared, chamfered geometry to create a robust, manufactured look. Its construction prioritizes presence and immediacy over typographic softness, aiming for strong recognition in display and branding contexts.
Because the counters are small and the forms are tightly condensed, the texture can become dark in longer passages, especially at smaller sizes. The distinctive chamfers and squared curves help maintain character at display sizes, where the angular details become a key part of the voice.
