Sans Other Obhy 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Heavy Duty' by Gerald Gallo, 'Evanston Alehouse' by Kimmy Design, 'Bulltoad' by Typodermic, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with angular geometry and squared counters. Strokes are predominantly straight with abrupt terminals, and many joins form sharp, notched corners that give the outlines a cut-from-plate feel. Letterforms show purposeful irregularities and carved-in details (small step-ins and wedge-like cutouts), creating a chunky rhythm while keeping counters relatively tight. Lowercase echoes the uppercase structure, with short ascenders and compact bowls, producing a dense, headline-oriented texture.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, labels, and signage where bold silhouettes carry the message. It works best at medium to large sizes where the stepped cut-ins and angular counters remain clear, and is less ideal for extended small-size text.
The overall tone feels industrial and assertive, with a retro display character reminiscent of bold signage and game or poster titling. The cut, notched shapes add a mechanical edge that reads energetic and slightly aggressive without becoming decorative script-like.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact display sans that combines rigid, geometric construction with deliberately cut-in details to create a distinctive, industrial voice. The consistent blocky system across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests an emphasis on cohesive titling and branding applications.
Spacing appears designed for impact rather than neutrality, with the heavy silhouettes and tight interior spaces creating strong dark mass on the line. Numerals follow the same block logic, favoring squared forms and crisp angles for a consistent, emblematic look.
