Sans Other Rodu 2 is a regular weight, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Maiers Nr. 8 Pro' by Ingo (names referenced only for comparison).

This is a compact, angular sans with monoline strokes and a strongly rectilinear build. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments, squared counters, and chamfered or clipped corners, creating a faceted, constructed look. Proportions are condensed with tight internal spaces, and the overall rhythm is crisp and segmented, with a geometric consistency that reads as grid-driven and deliberately mechanical.
It works well for UI headers, control-panel or device-style labeling, posters with a tech or sci‑fi flavor, and branding that leans industrial or digital. The condensed, squared shapes can be effective for short headlines, badges, packaging callouts, and esports/tech graphics where a constructed, gridlike look is desirable. For longer passages, it will read best at comfortable sizes with adequate tracking due to the tight counters and angular detailing.
The font conveys a technical, utilitarian mood with a slightly retro-digital edge. Its hard corners and modular construction feel systematic and engineered, suggesting interfaces, equipment labeling, or minimalist display work rather than expressive editorial tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, machine-made voice with clear, hard-edged forms that hold up in short labels and display settings. Its simplified geometry and clipped joins suggest an emphasis on consistency and a modular construction aesthetic rather than traditional humanist warmth.
Distinctive features include squared bowls and counters (notably in O/Q/0/8), an angular, segmented feel across diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y), and generally flat terminals with occasional chamfers that reduce visual sharpness while keeping the modular character.
