Sans Other Ofda 13 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'EFCO Colburn' by Ilham Herry, 'Pcast' by Jipatype, and 'Core Sans M' by S-Core (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with squared proportions, hard corners, and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves are minimized and replaced by straight segments, creating stepped joins and rectangular counters (notably in letters like O, P, and D). Many shapes show slightly chamfered or notched terminals and angled diagonals that add a cut-metal feel without introducing true serifs. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with sturdy, rectangular forms and a distinctly modular construction that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its chunky geometry can carry the message—headlines, posters, branding marks, and product/packaging callouts. It also fits interfaces or title screens seeking a retro-tech or arcade flavor, and works well for bold labels where quick recognition matters more than long-form comfort.
The design reads forceful and utilitarian, with a distinctly retro-digital edge. Its pixel-adjacent geometry and heavy, compressed presence evoke arcade graphics, industrial labeling, and bold tech signage. The tone is assertive and mechanical rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through modular, squared construction and compressed proportions, prioritizing a strong silhouette and a manufactured, digital-industrial aesthetic. Its consistent, monoline block structure suggests an intention to feel sturdy, modern, and slightly retro, while staying highly legible at display sizes.
Counters are generally small and boxy, and several glyphs use interior cutouts that resemble punched apertures. Diagonals (A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) are steep and planar, reinforcing a fabricated, stencil-like attitude without obvious breaks. Numerals follow the same squared logic, producing a cohesive, sign-ready set.
