Sans Other Ibru 3 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Albeit Grotesk Caps' and 'Albeit Grotesk Rounded Caps' by Cloud9 Type Dept, 'Panton Rust' by Fontfabric, and 'B52' by Komet & Flicker (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy geometric sans with broad, monoline strokes and softened corners, built from simple circular and rectangular components. Many letters feature deliberate horizontal breaks or "cut" segments through bowls and counters, creating a stencil/inline effect that repeats across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The forms are compact and sturdy with wide curves, squared terminals, and largely closed apertures; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and weighty, while round letters (O, C, G, e) are near-circular with clean, mechanical joins. Numerals follow the same system, with prominent cut-through details that emphasize a modular, engineered rhythm.
Best used for logos, titles, posters, packaging, and short headline settings where the inline breaks can read clearly and act as a recognizable signature. It can also work for signage and wayfinding in larger sizes, but is less suited to long-form copy or small UI text due to the intentional interruptions in the letterforms.
The overall tone feels industrial and futuristic, like wayfinding on machinery or a stylized digital/architectural brand. The repeated cut-lines add a technical, constructed personality that reads as bold and confident, with a slightly retro sci‑fi flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, systemized sans that blends geometric sturdiness with an engineered cut-through detail, giving otherwise simple shapes a memorable, technical identity.
Because the cut segments interrupt key strokes, legibility drops at smaller sizes and in dense text, while the distinctive pattern becomes a strong visual asset at display sizes. The design’s consistency across cases and numerals makes it especially suited to systems that rely on a cohesive, graphic motif.
