Sans Other Obli 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Margate JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Junosky' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared geometry, sharp corners, and frequent notches or cut-ins that create a subtly stencil-like texture. Counters are small and often rectangular, and many joins terminate in flat, cropped endings rather than smooth curves. The drawing favors straight strokes and stepped diagonals, producing a compact, machined look and a rhythmic pattern of internal cuts across letters and numerals. Lowercase forms largely mirror the uppercase’s hard-edged construction, preserving a uniform, modular feel in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and branding that benefits from a mechanical or arcade-inspired voice. It can also work well for game UI, on-screen titles, and packaging or signage where bold, geometric forms need to read quickly and feel intentionally industrial.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and retro-futuristic, evoking arcade cabinets, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interface graphics. Its aggressive mass and angular detailing communicate toughness and a tech-forward, engineered attitude.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, geometric display voice with a modular, cutout-driven identity—prioritizing attitude and graphic presence over neutral text invisibility. The repeated notches and squared counters suggest a deliberate attempt to reference engineered lettering and digital-era styling while keeping the overall construction consistent across the set.
Distinctive cutouts inside bowls and along terminals add character but also introduce busy detail at smaller sizes. The numerals and punctuation follow the same squared, notched logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like aesthetic.
