Sans Other Obpe 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mako' by Deltatype; 'PODIUM Sharp', 'PODIUM Soft', and 'POLIGRA' by Machalski; and 'Jetlab' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with angular geometry and mostly straight edges. Curves are minimized and corners are cut with sharp chamfers, giving many glyphs a faceted silhouette. Counters tend to be small and often square or rectangular, and several letters show notched joins and cut-in terminals that create a subtly segmented, almost stenciled impression. Stroke endings are flat and abrupt, with a dense, compact rhythm that produces strong, uniform texture in lines of text.
This font works best for high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, title treatments, and branding marks where strong silhouettes matter. It also fits well in gaming or tech UI elements, signage-style labels, and packaging callouts that benefit from a compact, industrial texture at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial, game-like edge. Its hard angles and tight internal spaces read as mechanical and tactical, lending a rugged, no-nonsense voice that feels suited to bold statements rather than nuanced refinement.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, cut-corner block aesthetic into an all-caps-and-lowercase system with consistent, squared counters and emphatic weight. Its construction prioritizes punchy shapes and a mechanical rhythm, aiming for instant recognition and a bold, graphic presence.
Uppercase forms are especially monumental and rectangular, while lowercase keeps the same modular logic, resulting in a consistent, constructed look across cases. Numerals share the same squared apertures and chopped corners, maintaining the font’s strong, blocky cadence in mixed alphanumeric settings.
