Sans Other Onpu 1 is a bold, wide, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'SbB Powertrain' by Sketchbook B (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric, angular sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with frequent 45° chamfered cuts that create an octagonal, engineered silhouette. Curves are largely replaced by squared counters and clipped diagonals, producing compact, boxy forms (notably in C/G/O/Q and the numerals) and a consistent, monoline-like stroke rhythm. The x-height is visually high, with short extenders and tight internal counters, and the overall texture reads crisp and grid-aligned. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the forms maintain a disciplined, modular construction across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display contexts where its angular construction can read clearly: game titles and UI elements, tech or hardware branding, futuristic posters, packaging, and short signage. It can work for brief blocks of text in interfaces, but the tight counters and highly geometric forms favor larger sizes and generous spacing.
The font projects a distinctly digital, sci‑fi tone—more “panel label” and “arcade UI” than literary. Its hard edges and beveled corners suggest machinery, circuits, and technical interfaces, giving it an assertive, synthetic voice that feels modern and game-adjacent.
The design appears intended to translate a gridded, engineered aesthetic into a readable sans, prioritizing a consistent chamfered geometry and a strong digital texture over conventional humanist proportions. It aims to feel precise and constructed, with letterforms that resemble cut metal, pixel-adjacent modules, or techno-industrial labeling.
Diagonal corner cuts are used as a recurring motif, helping differentiate similar shapes (for example, E/F and O/Q) while preserving a cohesive system. The squarish bowls and narrow apertures can make small sizes feel dense, but at display sizes the geometric detailing becomes a defining feature.
