Sans Other Obro 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Block' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Jetlab' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and a strongly modular construction. Forms are dominated by right angles and chamfered corners, with frequent carved notches and slit-like counters that create a stencil-adjacent feel without fully breaking strokes apart. Curves are largely suppressed into faceted geometry, producing octagonal suggestions in rounded letters and a rigid, machined rhythm across the alphabet. Spacing and silhouettes lean compact and chunky, prioritizing bold shape recognition over delicate internal detail.
Best suited for large sizes where its angular detailing and notched counters remain clear—display headlines, posters, album/cover art, and branding marks. It can also work well for game UI titles, tech-themed labels, and punchy packaging callouts, while extended small text may feel dense due to the tight interior apertures.
The overall tone is futuristic and game-like, evoking arcade interfaces, industrial signage, and retro digital display aesthetics. Its sharp corners and cut-in apertures add a hardened, mechanical attitude that reads assertive and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, futuristic display voice through modular geometry and carved negative spaces, balancing legibility with a distinctive, industrial character. Its consistent chamfer-and-notch system suggests a deliberate aim for a machinist/arcade aesthetic rather than a neutral text sans.
Distinctive internal cutouts and corner chamfers give many glyphs a “keyed” look, helping differentiate shapes while maintaining a consistent modular system. The numerals and capitals appear especially sign-like, with simplified construction and strong top/bottom horizontals that reinforce a stable, engineered feel.
