Sans Other Obdo 10 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to '2 Quadro' by Apostrof, 'Pocky Block' by Arterfak Project, 'Baldish' by Creativemedialab, and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built display sans with angular, chiseled corners and mostly squared counters. Strokes are uniform and dense, with frequent diagonal cuts that create a notched, stencil-like feel at joins and terminals. Uppercase forms are compact and tall with broad verticals, while lowercase echoes the same rigid construction with simplified bowls and boxy apertures. Numerals follow the same squared, modular logic, maintaining consistent weight and tight internal spaces for a strong, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and short signage where strong silhouette and impact matter more than long-form readability. It works well for gaming, industrial themes, and retro-inspired branding where a rigid, engineered look is desirable.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking machinery, signage, and retro-industrial graphics. Its sharp cuts and compressed interior spaces add an assertive, slightly militant flavor that reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through a modular, carved construction, using consistent chamfers and notches to create a distinctive industrial voice while staying within a sans framework.
The design relies on repeated wedge notches and chamfered terminals to generate rhythm, which makes words appear as a continuous pattern of vertical slabs. Counters are small and angular, and the texture becomes especially dense at smaller sizes, emphasizing its role as a display face.
