Sans Other Obbu 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Sicret' by Mans Greback, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Grid Hero' by PizzaDude.dk, and 'Huberica' by The Native Saint Club (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is constructed from heavy, geometric blocks with crisp right angles and frequent chamfered corners. Counters and interior cut-ins are squared and often narrow, creating a strong black presence with small rectangular apertures. Strokes stay uniform in thickness and terminals are blunt, while the overall letterforms feel tightly engineered with minimal curvature. The lowercase follows the same rigid, modular logic as the uppercase, producing a consistent, mechanical texture across lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and brand marks where its blocky shapes can dominate the page. It also fits interface titling, game UI, and tech or industrial packaging where a rugged, geometric voice is desirable. For longer passages, larger sizes and more generous tracking help preserve clarity.
The tone is assertive and machine-made, with a distinctly industrial and techno flavor. Its squared voids and hard corners evoke arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, and utilitarian signage, giving text a confident, no-nonsense voice. The overall impression is retro-futuristic: bold, functional, and slightly game-like.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through rigid geometry, squared counters, and chamfered detailing. Its construction prioritizes a bold, engineered silhouette and a distinctive, modular rhythm over conventional text smoothness, aiming for strong recognition in display and UI contexts.
Spacing in the sample appears intentionally compact, and the narrow counters can make small sizes feel dense; it reads best when given room to breathe. The angular construction creates a strong rhythm and a distinctive silhouette in all-caps settings, while mixed case maintains a uniform, engineered feel rather than a traditional text cadence.
