Sans Other Obby 1 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Brocks' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut and 'Alma Mater' and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans with rigid, rectilinear construction and mostly squared counters. Strokes are uniform and end in flat, abrupt terminals, with occasional clipped corners and notched joins that create a pseudo-stencil feel in letters like M, N, V, W, and Y. The curves that do appear are highly squared-off (notably in O, Q, and 0), producing a compact, modular rhythm. Lowercase echoes the uppercase architecture, with simplified bowls and minimal curvature, yielding a cohesive, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-contrast settings such as headlines, posters, logos, game or app UI titles, and packaging/label callouts where its angular structure and dense presence can carry the layout. It can also work for bold wayfinding or industrial-style signage when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-made, evoking arcade and sci‑fi interfaces, industrial labeling, and bold display signage. Its sharp geometry and tight spacing read as utilitarian and high-impact, with a distinctly retro-digital edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using modular, squared forms and deliberate notches to suggest technical construction and retro display aesthetics while staying within a clean sans framework.
The design leans on distinctive interior cut-ins and corner chamfers that help differentiate similar forms at display sizes, while maintaining a consistent block structure. Numerals follow the same squared geometry and weight, supporting uniform, sign-like composition.
