Sans Other Ibty 2 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Futo Sans' by HB Font, 'Etelka' by Storm Type Foundry, and 'Celdum' and 'Metral' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from rectilinear forms with softly rounded outer corners and frequent chamfered cuts. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, creating a solid, monoline presence, while counters tend toward squarish rectangles rather than circles. Many joins and terminals feel mechanically "notched" or cut back (notably in letters like S, G, and the lowercase), producing a modular rhythm and slightly segmented silhouettes. Proportions are compact with wide, stable stems and simplified diagonals, giving the alphabet a highly constructed, system-like consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display roles where its constructed geometry can be appreciated: headlines, logos, posters, product branding, and packaging. The sturdy, blocky forms also fit interface-like graphics, labeling, and wayfinding-style applications where a technical, modern tone is desired.
The overall tone reads technical and engineered, with a sci‑fi/industrial flavor. Its squared counters, clipped terminals, and sturdy weight suggest machinery, interfaces, and branded hardware rather than humanist warmth. The rounded corners temper the severity, keeping the style approachable while still clearly synthetic and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, futuristic sans voice through squared counters, clipped terminals, and modular construction. It prioritizes a strong, recognizable silhouette and a cohesive system of geometric decisions that reads as purpose-built for bold display typography and contemporary branding.
Distinctive shapes—such as the squared O/0, angular S, and the rectangular, cut-in details in several lowercase forms—create a strong voice but also introduce a deliberately unconventional texture in running text. Numerals follow the same boxy construction, with simplified geometry and confident, sign-like presence.
