Sans Other Obsy 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Poster Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Retrofunk' by Hendra Pratama, 'Lobby Card JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Volcano' by Match & Kerosene, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and squared counters, with frequent chamfered corners and small triangular or rectangular notches that create a cut-metal feel. Curves are minimized; bowls and rounds resolve into faceted, near-rectangular forms, and interior spaces read as crisp windows. Terminals are blunt and flat, with consistent stroke weight and tight, poster-like spacing that produces a dense texture in text. Distinctive details include stepped joins, wedge cuts on diagonals (notably in K, R, X), and a mix of closed and open constructions (e.g., C and S) that remain strongly rectilinear.
Best suited to bold headlines, logos, posters, and branding that wants a hard-edged, technical voice. It can also work well for game/UI titles, event graphics, and packaging where high-impact, geometric letterforms are desirable, especially on solid backgrounds or in short blocks of text.
The overall tone is mechanized and confrontational, evoking industrial signage, sci-fi interfaces, and arcade-era display lettering. The sharp corners and engineered cutouts add a tactical, fabricated character that feels energetic and modern rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a modular, industrial construction—favoring straight geometry, faceted ‘rounds,’ and signature notches to create a fabricated, machined identity that stands out in display settings.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the internal cutouts and notches remain clear; at smaller sizes those details can visually fill in, making letterforms appear more uniform. Numerals follow the same squared, modular logic, with the 0 rendered as a rectangular form with a centered counter and the 1 as a simple vertical with a minimal top treatment.
