Sans Other Obpu 5 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Deep Rising' by BA Graphics, 'Jazz Gothic' by Canada Type, 'Maken' by Graphicxell, and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: headlines, posters, logos, game titles, packaging, industrial, arcade, sci-fi, tough, poster-like, impact, display, techno, branding, signage, rectilinear, modular, angular, chiseled, blocky counters.
A compact, heavy sans with a strongly rectilinear construction and frequent diagonal notches that carve into otherwise blocky silhouettes. Counters are small and often rectangular, and joins tend to be abrupt, producing a chiseled, stencil-adjacent texture without true breaks. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with squared terminals, minimal curvature, and a consistent, modular geometry that holds together well in all-caps and headline settings.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, game titles, event posters, and bold UI moments where a strong, graphic wordmark is needed. It can also work for signage-style labels or section headers that benefit from a compact footprint and a mechanical tone. For extended reading or small text, the tight counters and dense texture may feel heavy, so it’s most effective as a display face.
This face projects a loud, high-impact attitude with a distinctly engineered, game-like flavor. The angular cut-ins and hard corners give it a slightly aggressive, industrial confidence that feels more arcade, sci‑fi, and poster-forward than neutral or corporate. Overall it reads as assertive, punchy, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended for maximum visual impact in short bursts of text, using a strict, geometric construction to create a distinctive voice. Its notched detailing and condensed proportions suggest a deliberate move away from neutrality toward a stylized, futuristic/industrial identity that remains legible at large sizes.
The sample text shows a pronounced “carved” texture created by repeated diagonal cut-ins across many letters, which adds character but can create busy clusters in longer lines. Numerals follow the same squared, compact logic, matching the overall industrial display aesthetic.
