Sans Other Vene 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'POLIGRA' by Machalski, 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Brumder' by Trustha, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with tall proportions and tightly packed internal counters. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with subtly irregular, hand-cut edges that create a slightly rough, inked silhouette rather than a perfectly machined outline. Terminals tend to be flat and squared, and many joins form crisp angles, giving the letters a rectangular, modular feel. Uppercase and lowercase share a strong vertical emphasis, and the numerals follow the same condensed, solid construction with small apertures and firm, squared curves.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where maximum impact and compact width are helpful. It can work well in branding marks, labels, and signage that benefits from a tough, industrial voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the roughened edges read as intentional texture.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a gritty, handmade edge that reads as industrial and streetwise. Its compressed shapes and dense color make it feel urgent and attention-seeking, leaning toward poster and display energy with a hint of vintage signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a dense, high-impact sans for display settings, combining a compressed footprint with a rugged, hand-cut finish. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a bold, utilitarian mood over delicate detail or extended text comfort.
The texture-like wobble at edges and corners gives the face character at larger sizes, while the tight counters and compact spacing can make long passages feel heavy. Round letters (like O/C) appear more squared-off than geometric, reinforcing the cut-block aesthetic.
