Sans Other Obvo 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Poster Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Double Back' and 'Elephantmen' by Comicraft, and 'Tradesman' by Grype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared counters and hard, rectilinear geometry throughout. Strokes are built from flat slabs with frequent 45° chamfered corners, producing a clipped, mechanical silhouette rather than smooth curves. Apertures and internal spaces tend toward rectangular cut-ins, and many joins resolve as stepped angles, giving the letterforms a modular, pixel-adjacent rhythm. The overall spacing feels compact and dense, with prominent black mass and minimal interior openness in bowls and counters.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and branding that benefits from a tough, angular voice. It also fits game/UI titling, tech or industrial themed graphics, and merchandising where bold, geometric letterforms need to hold up at large sizes.
The font projects a rugged, machine-made tone—part retro arcade, part industrial signage. Its sharp corners and cut-out counters convey a technical, no-nonsense attitude with a hint of sci-fi utility, making it feel assertive and attention-grabbing rather than conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense black shapes and a rigid, geometric construction, emphasizing a fabricated, techno-industrial feel. The consistent chamfers and squared counters suggest a goal of creating a distinctive display face that reads as both retro-digital and utilitarian.
The sample text shows strong texture in all-caps and mixed case, with distinctive squared punctuation and a notably geometric, boxy treatment of round letters and numerals. The chiseled diagonals in letters like A, K, N, V, W, and X reinforce a fabricated, plate-cut aesthetic that stays consistent across the set.
