Sans Other Obdi 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Amboy' by Parkinson, 'Exabyte' by Pepper Type, 'Computechnodigitronic' by Typodermic, and 'Acorna' and 'Caviara' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared counters and an octagonal, chamfered corner language. Strokes are uniform and built from straight segments, with frequent 45° cuts that create notched joins and faceted terminals. The uppercase feels compact and architectural, while the lowercase carries the same modular construction with simplified bowls and shoulders; counters remain small and rectangular, preserving a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Numerals follow the same hard-edged geometry, emphasizing flat tops and bottoms and clipped corners for a consistent, sign-like rhythm.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, poster typography, game and app UI titles, and bold branding marks where the geometric, faceted construction is a feature. It can also work for labels or packaging that benefit from an industrial/tech tone, but long passages and small sizes may feel tight due to dense interior spaces.
The overall tone is bold and mechanical, evoking retro digital/arcade lettering and utilitarian industrial labeling. Its faceted corners and rigid geometry read as assertive and engineered, with a slightly game-like, sci‑fi flavor that feels energetic rather than refined.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice using a modular, chamfered geometry that stays consistent across letters and figures. The intent appears to prioritize strong silhouettes and a retro-tech aesthetic over subtle typographic nuance, making it effective for attention-grabbing titles and identity work.
The design leans on distinctive diagonal chamfers (notably on curves and joins) that give rounds a polygonal feel. Wide internal spacing is minimal due to small counters, so shapes read best when given enough size and air. The texture is strong and uniform, producing high impact in short bursts of text.
