Sans Other Obre 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Pocky Block' by Arterfak Project, 'Hubba' by Green Type, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Shtozer' by Pepper Type, and 'Dynamic Display' by Putracetol (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared proportions and sharply cut corners. Strokes are largely monolinear, with frequent diagonal notches, chamfered terminals, and small internal cut-ins that create a stenciled/ink-trap feel. Counters are tight and rectilinear, and the overall texture is dense, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page. The lowercase keeps the same rigid geometry as the uppercase, with compact apertures and simplified joins that emphasize a modular, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to short, bold applications where its carved geometry can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, logotypes, and branding marks. It can also work for signage-style graphics and UI/game title treatments, while extended small-size text may feel heavy due to its tight counters and dense texture.
The design reads as industrial and retro-futuristic, with an arcade or machinery-panel attitude. Its angular cutouts and compact counters give it a forceful, utilitarian voice that feels technical and slightly aggressive, like signage stamped from metal or cut from vinyl.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive engineered look—combining a straightforward sans framework with angular cutouts to evoke industrial fabrication and retro display typography.
Distinctive mid-stroke incisions and corner bevels add character while helping separate shapes at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, notched construction, creating a cohesive, display-forward system with strong silhouette recognition.
