Sans Other Obdi 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'First Prize' by Letterhead Studio-VG, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Boppa Delux' by Patricia Lillie, 'Grid Hero' by PizzaDude.dk, and 'Huberica' by The Native Saint Club (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans with squared geometry and sharply chamfered corners that create a faceted, cut-metal look. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and many joins terminate in diagonal notches rather than curves. Counters are tight and rectangular, producing compact internal spaces and strong silhouette definition; round letters are constructed as squarish forms rather than true ovals. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified with a notably high x-height and short ascenders/descenders, while numerals and capitals maintain the same block-built rhythm for a consistent, impact-forward texture.
Best suited for bold headlines, poster titling, logos, and branded wordmarks where a hard-edged, mechanical voice is desired. It also fits game/arcade UI, sci‑fi or industrial themed graphics, and packaging that benefits from strong, blocky letterforms. For extended reading, larger sizes and generous tracking will help preserve clarity.
The tone feels industrial and machine-made, with a retro arcade/techno edge. Its sharp cuts and dense color read as forceful and no-nonsense, suggesting rugged signage and engineered components rather than friendly everyday text.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual impact through compact, angular construction and repeated chamfered terminals. The consistent, modular geometry suggests an intention to evoke industrial or techno aesthetics while maintaining a straightforward sans structure for clear, graphic display use.
The design leans on repeated diagonal chamfers (visible on forms like S, V/W, X, and curved letters translated into angled segments), giving the typeface a distinctive mechanical cadence across lines of text. Spacing and counters appear intentionally tight, which increases punch at display sizes but can create a crowded texture in longer phrases.
