Sans Other Veru 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'LHF Advertisers Square' by Letterhead Fonts and 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from squared forms with crisp right angles and occasional chamfered corners. Strokes are consistently thick, with tight counters and rectangular apertures that give letters a compact, modular feel. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of faceted geometry, producing distinctive, sometimes notched silhouettes (notably in diagonals and joins). The lowercase echoes the uppercase construction, with simple, single-storey forms and similarly squared bowls and terminals; figures follow the same block logic with punchy, rectangular cut-ins and counters.
Best suited to display typography where impact and a strong geometric texture are desired—headlines, posters, branding marks, game or tech UI titles, and product/packaging callouts. It works especially well in short runs of text where the blocky forms can read clearly and create a cohesive, branded pattern.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-like, evoking arcade graphics, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its sharp, pixel-adjacent geometry reads as modern and synthetic rather than humanist, projecting a confident, high-impact voice.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, squared construction into a contemporary display sans with a digital/industrial edge. By limiting curvature and using rectangular counters and chamfers, it prioritizes punch, uniform texture, and a distinctive techno graphic voice.
Spacing in the samples looks intentionally tight and rhythmic, emphasizing a solid texture in all-caps and short phrases. The distinctive counters and notches add character at display sizes, while the dense interior space suggests it will feel more at home large than small.
