Sans Other Obby 4 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Brocks' by Par Défaut and 'Alma Mater' and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, squared display sans built from hard, rectilinear strokes with crisp right angles and occasional clipped corners. Counters are small and often rectangular, creating dense, high-contrast letter silhouettes with a strong, modular rhythm. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of boxy geometry, and several forms use stepped joins and notch-like terminals that read as intentionally mechanical. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the overall texture stays tight and emphatic, with short apertures and sturdy stems that hold up as solid blocks in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
This font performs best in display contexts where impact and a techno-industrial flavor are desired, such as game UI, posters, titles, and branding marks. It can also work for short labels or signage where a rigid, modular voice is appropriate, but the dense counters and blocky forms suggest using generous sizes and spacing for longer passages.
The tone is assertive and machine-forward, evoking arcade cabinets, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its chunky, squared construction feels utilitarian and slightly aggressive, with a nostalgic digital edge that suggests early computer or game aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a pixel/console-era sensibility into a cleaner, scalable block style: maximizing presence through squared geometry, minimizing curves, and keeping details bold and structural. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and a mechanical rhythm over softness or nuanced text readability.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strongly unified construction, with many lowercase forms appearing compact and angular rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same squared logic, emphasizing legibility through large, simplified shapes and minimal internal detail.
