Sans Other Ofty 9 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Angulosa M.8' and 'Maiers Nr. 8 Pro' by Ingo, '3x5' by K-Type, and 'Monbloc' by Rui Nogueira (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans with blocky, rectilinear construction and mostly right-angled terminals. Counters are squared and often tight, producing strong ink traps of negative space that read like cut-outs. Many curves are simplified into facets, and several glyphs show deliberate notches and stepped joins that give a machined, modular feel. The overall rhythm is compact and dense, with strong verticals and clean, flat horizontals that emphasize a rigid grid-like geometry.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its dense, angular shapes can read as a deliberate stylistic choice: posters, title cards, brand marks, game UI/menus, labels, and packaging. It can also work for large, punchy subheads where a rugged, tech-forward impression is desired.
The tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era display type, and sci‑fi interface graphics. Its sharp corners and carved-in counters create a tough, utilitarian voice with a hint of retro game aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a strict, grid-based geometry into a bold display voice, prioritizing impact and a mechanized aesthetic over neutrality. Its carved counters and faceted strokes suggest inspiration from stenciling, arcade lettering, and industrial sign systems.
Distinctive sculpted details—such as internal cut-ins and occasional slit-like openings—add character without introducing ornament. The uppercase and lowercase share a consistent boxy language, and the numerals follow the same squared, display-driven logic for an unmistakably technical texture in lines of text.
