Sans Other Efdeh 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Avanti' by Glowtype, 'Cuanky' by Kereatype, 'Fact' by ParaType, 'Hanz' by Santi Rey, and 'Eastman Condensed' and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, tightly set sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact proportions. Strokes are broadly uniform with rounded corners and softened joins, giving the shapes a dense, ink-rich color. Many terminals finish on angled cuts, adding speed and direction, while counters remain relatively small for a solid, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase is sturdy and upright in construction despite the slant, and the numerals follow the same chunky, cut-terminal logic for a consistent texture across lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports-related graphics, promotional banners, packaging callouts, and bold wordmarks. It can work for brief subheads or labels where maximum emphasis is needed, but the dense counters and heavy color make it less ideal for long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a sporty, retro display flavor. The exaggerated mass and oblique stance suggest motion and impact, reading as confident and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or refined.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and momentum in a compact footprint, combining blunt, uniform strokes with directional, angled terminals. The goal is likely strong shelf/scroll stopping power with a cohesive, athletic display voice.
The rhythm is built from short, wide strokes and tightly controlled spacing, producing a strong horizontal flow in text. The angled cuts and rounded shaping create a distinctive “carved” look that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
