Sans Other Obte 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Retrofunk' by Hendra Pratama, 'Organetto' by Latinotype, 'Volcano' by Match & Kerosene, 'Morl' by Typesketchbook, and 'Bulltoad' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with sharply squared geometry and a distinctly angular construction. Strokes keep a largely even thickness, with corners frequently clipped into bevels and diagonals, producing a faceted silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many joins form abrupt notches that emphasize a cut-from-solid look. Spacing reads sturdy and tight, favoring dense, high-contrast word shapes in all caps and at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and punchy packaging where strong, geometric letterforms are expected to carry the message. It can also work well in game UI or titles where an angular, arcade-leaning aesthetic is desirable. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes due to the dense shapes and compact counters.
The overall tone feels industrial and game-like, with a rugged, machined presence that suggests signage, arcade/UI lettering, and action-oriented display use. Its blunt forms and carved-in angles project confidence and intensity, leaning more “built” than “written.”
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a compact, modular construction, translating traditional sans forms into faceted, straight-edged shapes. Its consistent bevels and squared counters suggest an intention to evoke machined lettering while remaining clean and contemporary for display settings.
The design relies on repeated corner treatments and rectangular interior shapes to create consistency across the alphabet and numerals. Diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y appear as bold wedges, while round letters are interpreted through straight segments, reinforcing the hard-edged voice.
