Sans Other Ebja 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Dimensions' by Dharma Type, 'Metro Block' by Ghozai Studio, 'Prismatic' by Match & Kerosene, and 'Beni' by Nois (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with heavy rectangular strokes and tightly controlled counters. Forms are largely vertical and orthogonal, with frequent notches, cut-ins, and small squared apertures that create a stencil-like, modular construction. Curves appear only where necessary (notably in rounded letters like O and C), and even then they read as squared-off and engineered. The rhythm is dense and punchy, with short crossbars and simplified joins that emphasize silhouette over internal detail.
Best suited to display contexts where strong silhouettes and a compact footprint are an advantage: posters, titles, branding marks, and packaging. It also fits interface or environment graphics that benefit from a techno/industrial tone, such as gaming UI, event graphics, labels, and wayfinding-style applications. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where the interior cut-ins remain clear.
The overall tone feels industrial and retro-futuristic, evoking arcade graphics, scoreboard lettering, and utilitarian labeling. Its chunky, notched shapes add a mechanical edge and a slightly aggressive, high-impact presence. The aesthetic is graphic and emblematic rather than conversational, leaning toward a bold, constructed voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a constructed, machine-cut look—combining compact proportions with modular detailing to create a distinctive, tech-leaning display voice. Its consistent orthogonal logic and recurring notches suggest an emphasis on systematic geometry and high recognition in bold, graphic settings.
Distinctive micro-counters and inset “windows” appear in several glyphs, giving the face a coded, techno flavor and helping differentiate similar shapes at display sizes. Numerals share the same squared, cutaway logic, with simplified geometry that prioritizes strong outlines. Spacing and proportions are optimized for compact setting, producing a solid typographic texture when used in lines of text.
