Sans Other Ofba 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Poster Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Hyperspace Race' and 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' by Swell Type, and 'FTY Galactic VanGuardian' by The Fontry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with squared counters and crisp right angles, softened in places by small chamfered corners. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Many glyphs use rectangular bowls and apertures, with compact interior spaces and a generally low level of curvature; diagonals appear mainly as clipped corners on letters like K, N, V, W, X, and Z. The overall construction feels modular and screen-friendly, with tight, sturdy forms and a distinctly squared lowercase that echoes the capitals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display copy, posters, and brand marks where its angular geometry can be featured at larger sizes. It can also work well for game titles, tech-themed UI labels, and packaging that benefits from a bold, digital-industrial voice.
The typeface conveys a retro-digital, arcade-like attitude with a hard-edged, industrial confidence. Its chunky geometry and clipped corners suggest technology, gaming, and sci‑fi interfaces, delivering an assertive, mechanical tone rather than a neutral everyday voice.
The design appears intended to translate a pixel/terminal-era aesthetic into a solid, contemporary display sans: modular, squared, and emphatic, with chamfered details that add motion and a futuristic edge while preserving strong legibility at display sizes.
Numerals and capitals read especially strongly thanks to their boxy silhouettes and consistent stroke heft. The squared punctuation and compact counters can make long passages feel dense, but they reinforce the font’s intentionally rigid, constructed character.
