Sans Other Ibru 1 is a bold, wide, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mazzard' by Pepper Type, 'Galano Grotesque' by René Bieder, and 'Mundial' by TipoType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, circular curves paired with straight, machined terminals. Distinctive horizontal cut-ins and breaks appear across several capitals, giving a stencil-like, segmented construction without changing the overall stroke weight. Counters are generous and largely circular (notably in C, O, Q), while joins stay clean and minimal, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and compact, squared punctuation-like details (dots, cuts) that echo the font’s modular motif.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where the stencil-like interruptions become a recognizable signature. It can also work for signage and short UI/tech labels at larger sizes, while extended body text may feel visually busy due to the repeated cut-ins.
The overall tone feels industrial and techno, with a purposeful, fabricated look reminiscent of labeling, equipment markings, and sci‑fi interfaces. The segmented bars add a sense of motion and systematized precision, making the voice feel confident and slightly aggressive rather than friendly or handwritten.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, manufactured sans that stays highly legible at display sizes while adding a distinctive, coded/stenciled detail for instant recognition. Its broad geometry and consistent stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on impact, clarity, and a strong visual identity.
The recurring notch/break motif is a defining identifier, most visible on letters with horizontal structure (such as E, F, H, and several curved capitals). Numerals follow the same sturdy geometry, with simplified, high-impact shapes suited to display sizing where the cut details read clearly.
