Sans Other Ifta 5 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Baldo' by Ahmet Altun, 'ApronNext' by Hurufatfont, 'Behover' by Martype co, 'Alma Mater' and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K, 'Leverkusen' by Trequartista Studio, and 'Little Moon' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-based sans with sharply faceted corners and frequent chamfered cuts that create a carved, polygonal silhouette. Strokes read as largely even in thickness, with crisp terminals and minimal curvature; bowls and counters are tightened into angular, often pentagonal/hexagonal openings. The geometry produces a slightly irregular rhythm—some letters feel subtly narrower or more tapered—yet the overall construction stays consistent and strongly vertical. Counters are small and rectangular-to-angled, giving dense texture and strong figure/ground at display sizes.
Best suited for display work where its dense, angular shapes can hold attention—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and bold promotional graphics. It works especially well when you want a tough, machined voice and can give it enough size and spacing for the tight counters to remain clear.
The tone is forceful and mechanical, with an industrial, cut-metal feel. Its hard angles and compact interior spaces add a rugged, poster-like energy that can read as retro or game/arcade-adjacent without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a simplified, monoline block structure while adding character via chamfers and faceted cuts. The goal reads as a utilitarian, industrial display sans that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for strong, cohesive titling.
Diagonal strokes are steep and planar rather than smooth, and several glyphs use notched joins that emphasize the chiseled aesthetic. The lowercase follows the same architectural language as the caps, keeping the texture uniform in mixed-case settings. Numerals mirror the same faceting, maintaining a cohesive, sign-like presence.
