Sans Other Obda 14 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Proto Sans' by ABSTRKT, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Block' by Stefan Stoychev (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared proportions and sharply cut corners. Forms are built from straight strokes and right angles, with occasional diagonal trims that create a faceted, machined look. Counters are mostly rectangular and compact, and the overall rhythm is tight and dense, producing strong color on the line. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s modular construction, with simplified bowls and stepped joins that emphasize a pixel-adjacent, grid-based geometry.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and a constructed aesthetic are desirable—game titles and UI headers, esports or tech branding, poster headlines, product packaging, and bold signage. The dense silhouettes and tight interior spaces favor larger sizes, where the angular details and squared counters remain clear.
The tone is bold and game-like, with a retro-digital energy that reads as arcade, sci‑fi, and industrial signage. Its hard edges and enclosed shapes feel assertive and functional, suggesting machinery, warning labels, and tech interfaces rather than softness or literary nuance.
The design appears intended to evoke a modular, engineered feel: a geometric, grid-driven alphabet that prioritizes punchy silhouettes and a cohesive retro-tech personality. Its consistent straight-stroke construction suggests a deliberate nod to arcade typography and industrial labeling conventions.
Notable features include squarish bowls (e.g., in O/D/P) and clipped terminals that introduce small diagonal accents in several letters. The numeral set is equally blocky, with segmented-looking shapes that match the overall modular system and maintain strong presence at display sizes.
