Sans Other Ofbe 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Midfield' by Kreuk Type Foundry, and 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A block-constructed sans with square proportions, hard corners, and stepped edges that suggest a pixel-grid origin. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with tight, rectangular counters and frequent notch-like cut-ins that create a modular, almost stencil-like structure. Curves are largely replaced by right angles and short diagonals, producing a compact rhythm and strong silhouette; spacing is generally even, though individual glyph widths vary to preserve the block geometry. Figures and capitals share the same squared, monoline logic, keeping the texture consistent in both display and short text settings.
This font works best for display applications where a bold, retro-tech feel is desirable—arcade-inspired headlines, game interfaces, scoreboards, and attention-grabbing poster or packaging typography. It can also serve well in logos and badges that benefit from compact, geometric letterforms and a distinctly digital texture.
The overall tone is retro-digital and utilitarian, reminiscent of arcade titles, early computer graphics, and industrial labeling. Its sharp, modular forms feel technical and game-oriented, projecting a confident, mechanical energy rather than a humanist or editorial voice.
The design appears intended to translate a pixel/block aesthetic into a solid, print-ready sans, emphasizing modular construction, strong silhouettes, and straightforward readability in larger sizes. Its consistent monoline weight and squared detailing suggest an aim toward UI-like clarity and a recognizable retro-computing personality.
The design leans on interior cutouts and stepped joins to differentiate similar forms, which enhances the pixel/bitmap character but can reduce clarity at very small sizes. In the sample text, the dense, dark color and squared apertures create a commanding, poster-like presence best suited to short lines and strong hierarchy.
