Sans Other Fasi 9 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Boocr' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Jetlab' by Swell Type, and 'FTY Konkrete' by The Fontry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, squared sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with rectangular counters and frequent notched cut-ins that create a quasi-stencil construction. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of octagonal turns and chamfered joins, giving letters a blocky, engineered silhouette. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with tall lowercase forms and tightly sized apertures that produce dense word shapes. Numerals and capitals echo the same modular geometry, maintaining consistent stroke weight and a rigid, grid-like presence.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, game or sci‑fi interfaces, album/cover art, and bold branding marks where a hard-edged, industrial voice is desired. It can also work for short signage-style labels and packaging callouts, but is less ideal for long passages due to its dense counters and strong texture.
The overall tone is forceful and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era display lettering, and utilitarian signage. Its hard edges and squared voids read as technical and commanding rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a compact, modular construction: squared forms, chamfered corners, and stencil-like notches that add visual bite. It aims for a retro-tech, machine-made aesthetic that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Several glyphs show deliberate internal splits and inset cuts (notably in bowls and stems), which increases texture and distinguishes similar forms at display sizes. The set reads best where the bold mass and angular detailing can be appreciated, as the tight counters and narrow openings can fill in visually at smaller sizes.
