Sans Other Obby 11 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Alma Mater' and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K, 'Aeroscope' by Umka Type, and 'Muscle Cars' by Vozzy (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-constructed sans with strong vertical emphasis and squared, chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette throughout. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-contrast letterforms against the page. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, and many joins are sharply notched or stepped rather than smoothly curved. The rhythm is tight and mechanical, with straight terminals, clipped corners, and a generally engineered geometry that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its dense, angular structure can read clearly at larger sizes—headlines, posters, product marks, and bold packaging. It also fits themed applications such as techno or arcade-inspired graphics, tactical or industrial aesthetics, and team or sportswear-style typography where a rigid, punchy texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels hard-edged and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and digital-era display lettering. Its angular construction and compact spacing give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that reads as technical and game-like at the same time. The repeated chamfers and squared counters add a retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of arcade graphics and machinery signage.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using chamfered geometry and tight construction to create a mechanical, authoritative texture. Its consistent stroke system and faceted curves suggest an intention to translate digital or industrial forms into a strong, immediately recognizable display voice.
The design relies on corner cuts and interior cut-ins to suggest curvature (notably in round letters), so shapes read as faceted rather than circular. Lowercase forms largely echo the architectural logic of the capitals, reinforcing a consistent, all-caps-like texture in running text. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry, keeping the set visually cohesive.
