Sans Other Ipni 5 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Area' and 'Surt' by Blaze Type and 'Brooklyn' by Designova (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with monolinear strokes and a deliberately segmented construction. Many letters feature consistent vertical notches and small cut-ins that create a pseudo-stencil rhythm, while bowls stay largely circular and terminals are mostly flat. Proportions run broad with generous counters, and diagonals (notably in A, K, M, N, V, W, X) are crisp and sharply joined, giving the alphabet a built-from-parts feel. The figures follow the same modular logic, with simplified, high-impact shapes and occasional cuts that emphasize the mechanical character.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where the notched construction can read clearly and contribute to the graphic voice. It also works well for logos, packaging, and signage that benefit from a technical, cut-out aesthetic, while longer passages will emphasize its rhythmic interruptions and may be more appropriate for short, punchy copy.
The overall tone feels industrial and engineered, like signage cut from rigid material or a digital/architectural logotype system. The repeated breaks and straight edges add a slightly futuristic, utilitarian flavor while keeping the texture bold and assertive.
The design appears intended to offer a recognizable, system-like sans with a consistent cut-in motif—combining bold geometric foundations with stencil-inspired interruptions to create a distinctive, modern display texture.
The recurring notch motif becomes a strong identifying feature at text sizes, creating a patterned texture across words. Rounded letters such as O, C, and e balance the angular joins elsewhere, but the design remains distinctly constructed rather than purely humanist.
