Sans Other Gaze 9 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Rhode' by Font Bureau, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Extenda' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with squared-off curves and a strongly engineered silhouette. Letterforms are built from large, blunt strokes with shallow counters and frequent internal cut-ins/notches that create a slightly stencil-like, segmented impression. Rounds (C, O, G) read as squarish ovals, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and forceful, contributing to a dense texture. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is chunky and uniform, optimized for strong shapes rather than delicate detail.
Best used for large-scale applications where strong presence is required: headlines, posters, event and sports graphics, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It also works well for short slogans and logo-type that benefits from a rugged, engineered feel.
The font projects a loud, no-nonsense voice—confident, workmanlike, and a bit retro-industrial. Its carved-in look and compact massing suggest toughness and urgency, making it feel suited to bold statements and attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, industrial construction, using notched details to add character and differentiation while preserving a solid, compact reading texture.
The distinctive internal notches and clipped joins create recognizable word shapes at display sizes, but the dense counters and tight rhythm can make long text feel heavy. Numerals match the same blocky construction, keeping headings and set pieces visually consistent.
