Sans Other Rebal 11 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Resiliency3' by Alphabet Agency, 'Battlefly' by Dicubit, 'Morgan Poster' by Feliciano, 'First Prize' by Letterhead Studio-VG, and 'Exabyte' by Pepper Type (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: posters, headlines, logotypes, game ui, packaging, industrial, techno, retro, arcade, mechanical, display impact, tech aesthetic, industrial signage, retro digital, rectilinear, geometric, modular, stencil-like, squared.
This typeface is built from rigid, rectilinear strokes with squared corners and an almost modular construction. Counters are mostly rectangular and tightly enclosed, and many joins resolve into hard notches and cut-ins that create a slightly stencil-like, engineered feel. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of straight segments, producing condensed, tall silhouettes and a compact internal rhythm. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase with simplified bowls and terminals, and numerals follow the same blocky geometry for a consistent, utilitarian texture.
Best suited for display typography where its geometric texture can be appreciated: posters, titles, brand marks, and bold labeling. It also fits interface or on-screen contexts that benefit from a retro-tech aesthetic, such as game UI, sci‑fi themed graphics, and product packaging with an industrial voice.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, with a retro-digital flavor reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi, and display labeling. Its angular cuts and rigid structure read as assertive and mechanical, projecting a constructed, machine-made personality rather than a humanist one.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly structured, angular sans with a distinctive constructed look, emphasizing strong word shapes and a futuristic/industrial atmosphere. Its modular feel suggests it was drawn to create a recognizable visual signature for short-form text rather than neutral, continuous reading.
The design’s tight counters and frequent right-angle turns create strong patterning in words, which can look striking at larger sizes but may become dense when set small or in long paragraphs. Distinctive notch details on several glyphs add character and help keep repeated vertical strokes from feeling monotonous.
