Sans Other Obro 9 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Amboy' by Parkinson, 'Block' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Jetlab' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with sharply chamfered corners and largely monoline strokes. Forms are constructed from blocky rectangles and diagonal cuts, producing faceted terminals and notched joins that give many letters a built, modular feel. Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, with square dots and tight apertures that emphasize a dense texture. The overall rhythm is mechanical and rigid, with consistent stroke treatment and a strong, poster-like silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where high impact and a mechanical aesthetic are desired—headlines, posters, logos, product marks, and game or tech interfaces. It can also work for short labels or signage-style layouts, while dense counters and tight apertures suggest avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage, retro arcade graphics, and techno branding. Its angular cuts and compact internal spaces create an assertive, slightly aggressive voice that reads as engineered and tactical rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a modular, cut-corner construction that feels machine-made. By combining chunky rectangular structure with diagonal chamfers and notches, it aims to signal strength, precision, and a retro-futuristic edge.
Lowercase echoes the uppercase construction, leaning toward small-cap proportions and maintaining the same chamfered geometry. Numerals match the same squared, cut-corner language, reinforcing a cohesive, systematized character set with strong impact at display sizes.
