Sans Other Olda 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut and 'SbB Powertrain' by Sketchbook B (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions and crisp, chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette across many forms. Strokes are consistently thick and largely uniform, with hard right angles and occasional diagonal cuts used as joints and terminals. Counters tend to be rectangular and compact, and spacing reads tight and blocky, producing a strong, stencil-like rhythm without actual breaks. Uppercase shapes are particularly modular and monolithic, while lowercase follows the same rectilinear logic, resulting in a cohesive, system-like texture in text.
Best used at display sizes where the angular detailing and compact counters stay clear—such as headlines, posters, game and sci‑fi UI graphics, badges, and bold logotypes. It can also work for short labels or signage-style applications where a rigid, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and utilitarian, evoking digital hardware, arcade interfaces, and industrial signage. Its sharp bevels and squared counters lend a futuristic, machine-made character that reads assertive and commanding.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modular, techno aesthetic through rectilinear construction and repeated chamfered cuts. It prioritizes impact and a machine-like consistency over softness or traditional typographic modulation.
Diagonal notches and clipped terminals appear repeatedly, giving the set a consistent "cut metal" feel and helping differentiate similar shapes. Numerals and capitals look especially suited to display settings, with strong symmetry and a compact interior space that can feel dense at smaller sizes.
