Sans Other Onso 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Exabyte' by Pepper Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, modular sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, giving most forms an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Curves are largely replaced by squared bowls and clipped diagonals, with frequent notch-like joins and stepped terminals that emphasize a pixel-adjacent construction. Counters tend to be rectangular and compact, and many letters (notably S, G, Z, and the numerals) resolve into segmented, slab-like bars for a rigid, engineered rhythm. Lowercase follows the same geometric system with single-storey constructions and simplified apertures, maintaining a consistent, grid-driven texture across text.
Best suited to short, bold applications where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, poster titling, logos/wordmarks, game or app UI labels, and tech-themed packaging. It also works well for signage-style callouts, badges, and large numeric displays where uniform, modular shapes help create a strong graphic block.
The overall tone feels futuristic and machine-made, with strong associations to arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, and industrial instrumentation. Its sharp geometry and dense color create an assertive, high-impact voice that reads as technical and performance-oriented rather than conversational.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-and-chamfer geometry into a robust, attention-grabbing sans for futuristic and digital contexts, prioritizing strong silhouette and consistent modular structure over traditional text readability.
Distinctive cut-ins and chamfers help differentiate similar shapes (for example, C vs. G and O vs. Q), but the tightly boxed counters can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in long paragraphs. The digit set matches the same segmented logic, producing a cohesive, display-forward numeric color.
