Sans Other Olbo 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kickoff' by Din Studio, 'School Activities JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Neue Northwest' by Kaligra.co, and 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and aggressively angular joins. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with frequent chamfered cuts and notched terminals that create a faceted, mechanical silhouette. Counters and apertures tend toward rectangular shapes, and curves are largely replaced by straight segments, giving letters a rigid, constructed rhythm. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with compact interior space and crisp, geometric edges.
Best suited for display roles where strong presence and legibility at larger sizes are priorities—titles, posters, packaging callouts, team or event branding, and game/UI typography. It can also work for short labels and wayfinding-style copy, but the dense, angular detailing is most effective when given room to breathe.
The font conveys a utilitarian, machine-made attitude with a strong retro-tech flavor. Its sharp corners and cut-in details suggest signage, hardware labeling, and arcade-era display aesthetics, balancing toughness with a stylized, game-like edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, engineered look that reads as technical and rugged while remaining clearly sans and highly graphic. Its systematic chamfers and rectangular counters aim to create instant recognizability for modern-retro interfaces and attention-grabbing branding.
Distinctive triangular nicks and clipped corners appear throughout, producing a quasi-stencil feel without fully breaking strokes. The punctuation and numerals maintain the same squared, engineered logic, supporting consistent visual color in all-caps headlines and mixed-case settings.
