Sans Other Obbi 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Blacky' by Afdalul Zikri, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'RBNo2.1' by René Bieder, and 'Mind The Caps' by Shaped Fonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact display sans with sharply angular contours and flattened curves that read as mostly rectilinear. Strokes are consistently thick and monolinear, with corners cut to hard diagonals and frequent notches that create a machined, chiseled silhouette. Counters are small and often square or slit-like, and the overall rhythm is tight with minimal interior breathing room. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure, keeping a sturdy, vertical build and a uniformly chunky texture across words and numbers.
Best suited to large-size applications where its dense, angular forms can read cleanly: posters, punchy headlines, album or event graphics, game titles and UI headers, and bold packaging callouts. It works especially well when a rugged, digital-industrial flavor is desired and when set with generous tracking or ample surrounding whitespace.
The font projects a tough, mechanical energy with a distinctly retro-digital edge. Its assertive shapes and tight counters give it a commanding, no-nonsense tone, evoking arcade titles, industrial labeling, and dystopian or sci‑fi interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact proportions, monolinear heft, and aggressively simplified geometry. The repeated diagonal cuts and tight counters suggest a deliberate move toward a fabricated, techno-display voice rather than neutral text typography.
Several glyphs emphasize a constructed, cut-out feel through triangular joins and stepped terminals, which increases visual bite but reduces subtlety at smaller sizes. The punctuation and numerals maintain the same blocky logic, supporting a consistent headline texture.
