Sans Other Obvu 7 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut and 'SbB Powertrain' by Sketchbook B (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharp chamfered corners and squared counters. Strokes stay consistent and orthogonal, with frequent 45° cuts that create an octagonal silhouette across many forms. Counters are mostly rectangular and fairly tight, giving the face a dense, high-ink rhythm; curves are minimized in favor of straight segments. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and compact, while the lowercase echoes the same architecture with simplified bowls and straight-sided stems, keeping a uniform, modular texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its angular geometry can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and entertainment or game/interface graphics. It can also work for labels and badges where a tough, industrial presence is desired, while longer passages benefit from generous sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is rugged and mechanical, with a distinctly retro-digital flavor. Its angular cuts and dense filling read as assertive and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era display type, and sci‑fi interface lettering.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual punch through dense black shapes and repeatable geometric cuts, prioritizing a cohesive, modular system over traditional calligraphic contrast. The consistent chamfer motif suggests an intention to reference engineered surfaces—machined parts, signage, and pixel-adjacent display typography—while remaining clean and sans in construction.
The design relies on consistent corner chamfers as its main signature, which can make similarly structured characters (for example, I/l/1-like shapes) feel close in texture at small sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same squared, cut-corner logic, maintaining a cohesive, engineered look across the set.
