Sans Other Ofda 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Heavy Duty' by Gerald Gallo, 'Angulosa M.8' and 'Maiers Nr. 8 Pro' by Ingo, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Boppa Delux' by Patricia Lillie, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with squared bowls, clipped corners, and blunt terminals. Forms are built from broad, uniform strokes with minimal modulation, creating a strongly modular, almost cut-from-plate feel. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and several letters use sharp notches and stepped joins that emphasize straight edges over smooth curves. The rhythm is compact and dense, with a distinctly engineered silhouette and strong horizontal/vertical emphasis.
Best suited to large sizes where the crisp, blocky detailing can read clearly—headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold branding. It can also work for labels and packaging that want a rugged, industrial or retro-game tone. For longer text, the dense counters and heavy color are more effective in short bursts than extended reading.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade titling and industrial signage. Its rigid geometry and dark color convey authority and impact, while the angular quirks add a playful, game-like character rather than a neutral corporate voice.
The font appears designed to maximize impact through solid, squared construction and compact internal spaces, while introducing angular cuts and stepped features to avoid a purely generic geometric look. It aims to deliver a strong display voice that feels manufactured, robust, and slightly nostalgic.
The design leans into deliberate irregularities—such as wedge-like diagonals, squared apertures, and occasional stencil-like breaks—that give it a custom display personality. Numerals and capitals match the same block-constructed logic, maintaining a consistent, poster-ready texture across mixed-case settings.
