Sans Other Obdo 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut and 'Muscle Cars' by Vozzy (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with heavy rectangular strokes and sharply squared terminals. Letterforms are constructed from straight segments with minimal curvature, producing stepped corners, notched joins, and small, boxy counters (notably in B, P, R, and 8). The rhythm is tight and vertical, with a narrow footprint and simplified geometry that keeps stroke thickness visually consistent. Lowercase echoes the uppercase structure, with sturdy stems, short arms, and a largely rectangular vocabulary that reads like modular signage.
Best suited to short display copy such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, game or arcade-inspired UI, and bold packaging callouts where its compact width and hard-edged construction can shine. It also works well for labels and section headers that benefit from a strong, mechanical presence.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a distinctly retro-digital flavor reminiscent of arcade graphics, stenciled labeling, and machinery markings. Its rigid geometry and tight proportions communicate efficiency and toughness more than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using modular, rectilinear construction to evoke industrial and retro-digital aesthetics. Its consistent stroke weight and squared forms prioritize punchy silhouette recognition and a graphic, engineered feel.
Distinctive details include chamfer-like cuts and interior notches that add texture without introducing curves, plus compact apertures that help preserve solidity at display sizes. Numerals and capitals feel especially suited to compact, space-efficient setting, while the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes where interiors may fill in.
