Sans Other Obga 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Heavy Duty' by Gerald Gallo, 'Midfield' by Kreuk Type Foundry, 'Volcano' by Match & Kerosene, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Amboy' by Parkinson (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with strongly angular geometry and frequent diagonal cuts that create a chiseled, stenciled feel. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, but the outlines are intentionally irregular: many counters are small and rectangular, joins can feel slightly pinched, and several glyphs show subtle leans or uneven sides that give the line a rough mechanical rhythm. Spacing reads compact and the fit is tight, producing dense word shapes with emphatic verticals and slabby horizontals. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with simplified bowls and sharp corner breaks that keep the set visually unified.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, logotypes, and bold packaging labels where the angular cut-ins can be appreciated. It also works well for game, music, and nightlife visuals that benefit from an aggressive, industrial texture.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking cut metal, industrial signage, and arcade-era display lettering. Its rough-edged consistency adds energy and grit, making it feel assertive and attention-seeking rather than neutral or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through heavy weight and faceted, cut-out construction, pairing a straightforward sans skeleton with stylized corner breaks for a rugged, display-first personality.
The face relies on distinctive corner notches and diagonal truncations to differentiate forms, which boosts character at display sizes but can reduce clarity in longer text or small settings. The compact counters and dense texture make uppercase headlines especially impactful.
