Sans Other Obva 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Poster Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Bike Tag JNL' and 'Celluloid JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Evanston Alehouse' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans built from rigid straight strokes and squared forms, with corners frequently clipped into short diagonals that create a faceted, machined look. Curves are minimized in favor of rectilinear geometry, producing square counters and tight apertures (notably in forms like C, S, e, and a). Uppercase shapes read as compact blocks with consistent cap height and a strong, even color, while lowercase echoes the same construction with simplified, modular joins. Numerals are similarly boxy and engineered, with rectangular bowls and notch-like cuts that reinforce the type’s hard-edged rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its blocky geometry can be appreciated: display headlines, posters, branding marks, game titles and UI labels, and bold packaging callouts. It will be especially effective in tech, industrial, and retro-digital themes where a hard, engineered texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and mechanical, evoking a digital/arcade or sci‑fi interface aesthetic. Its sharp facets and squared interior spaces feel assertive and utilitarian, suggesting speed, hardware, and high-contrast signage rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast display presence using a modular, rectilinear construction. By replacing curves with squared counters and chamfered corners, it aims for a futuristic, machine-cut personality optimized for bold titles and interface-like typography.
Spacing in the sample text appears designed for headline impact, with dense letterforms and distinctive silhouettes that help word shapes pop despite the reduced curves. The repeated diagonal chamfers act as a unifying motif across the set, giving the font a consistent, modular voice.
