Sans Other Ohli 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Tradesman' by Grype and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from straight strokes and squared curves, with a strongly rectilinear, pixel-adjacent construction. Corners are crisp and often chamfered, counters tend toward rectangles, and terminals are flat with consistent stroke thickness. The rhythm is slightly irregular due to purposeful cut-ins and notches in several forms, giving a modular, engineered feel while remaining highly legible at display sizes. Numerals and capitals are especially boxy, with compact apertures and a tightly controlled, grid-like silhouette.
Well-suited to headlines, logos, and short-form copy where its square geometry can carry the design. It works particularly well for tech branding, sci-fi or cyber-themed posters, game interfaces, and on-screen labels where a modular, systemized look is desired. For longer reading, it’s best used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is technical and game-like, evoking arcade UI, sci-fi labeling, and industrial signage. Its sharp geometry and deliberate notching add a mechanized edge that feels utilitarian rather than friendly, with a distinct retro-futurist flavor.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, engineered aesthetic into a clean sans, combining high-impact block shapes with small notches and chamfers to create a distinctive, tech-forward voice. It prioritizes a cohesive modular silhouette and strong presence for display applications.
Diagonal strokes (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y) are rendered as straight, steep cuts that contrast with the otherwise orthogonal system, and several glyphs use squared bowls and inset joins that read as intentional “machined” detailing. The sample text shows clear word shapes in short bursts, though the tight apertures and angular joins suggest it will be most comfortable at medium to large sizes.
