Sans Other Ohba 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bunken Tech Sans' by Buntype, 'Leco 1976' by CarnokyType, 'Digital Sans Now' by Elsner+Flake, 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, and 'Obvia' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with heavy, uniform strokes and sharply squared corners. Forms are constructed from straight segments with frequent 45° cuts, producing a faceted, pixel-adjacent silhouette without true bitmap stepping. Counters are tight and often rectangular (notably in O/0 and B/8), and curves are largely replaced by chamfered angles, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Spacing reads sturdy and even at display sizes, while the dense shapes and narrow apertures create a strong, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, logos, posters, and branding where a hard-edged, tech-forward voice is desired. It also fits interface titling for games or digital products, labels, and packaging that benefit from bold, geometric impact. For longer text, it performs best at larger sizes where the tight counters and angular joins remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, and industrial signage. Its angular geometry and compressed counters lend it a distinctly digital, engineered character that feels purposeful and slightly retro-futuristic.
The design appears intended to translate modular, industrial geometry into a readable sans for display use, prioritizing strong silhouette and a unified angular system over softness or calligraphic nuance. Its consistent chamfers and squared apertures suggest a deliberate aim toward futuristic utility and high visual punch.
Several glyphs lean toward schematic constructions—such as the squared O/0 with inset counter and the angular S—reinforcing a systemized, techno aesthetic. The lowercase maintains the same rigid geometry as the uppercase, with simplified bowls and minimal modulation, helping mixed-case settings stay consistently blocky and high-impact.
