Sans Other Ofpe 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'EFCO Colburn' by Ilham Herry, and 'Obvia Condensed' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, block-built sans with squared counters, hard corners, and tightly controlled geometry. Strokes are uniformly heavy and largely orthogonal, with occasional diagonal cuts that create chiseled terminals and stepped joins. The letterforms favor rectangular bowls and apertures, producing a compact rhythm and strong vertical emphasis; lowercase forms read as tall and sturdy, with simplified details and minimal curvature. Numerals and capitals share the same monolithic construction, giving the set a consistent, sign-ready silhouette.
Best suited to display applications where maximum impact is needed: posters, headlines, branding marks, product packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for themed graphics (retro-tech, industrial, game/arcade) where a rigid, geometric voice supports the concept.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era display type, and stern headline typography. Its sharp cuts and boxed counters add a slightly retro-tech, militaristic edge that feels assertive and uncompromising.
The design intent appears to prioritize immediate visual punch and a distinctly angular construction over neutral text readability. Its simplified, squared anatomy and heavy presence suggest a purpose-built display face for strong titles and graphic statements.
Spacing appears visually tight in running text, reinforcing a compressed, high-impact texture. Interior counters are small and often rectangular, so the face benefits from generous size and contrast against the background; punctuation and small details can feel secondary to the dominant block shapes.
