Sans Other Reger 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Bellfort' by GRIN3 (Nowak); 'Cairoli Now' by Italiantype; and 'Angmar', 'Delonie', and 'Headpen' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with squared shoulders, slightly uneven contours, and compact counters that create a carved, hand-cut feel. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with crisp terminals and occasional wedge-like joins that give letters a subtly chiseled profile. The shapes are tall and tightly set, with small apertures and assertive vertical rhythm; round letters (O, C, G) read as squarish ovals, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a sturdy, block-built construction. Numerals match the narrow, upright stance and maintain the same blunt, high-impact geometry.
Best suited to posters, headlines, event graphics, and bold branding where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed. It can work well for packaging and signage that benefits from a vintage/industrial voice and strong silhouette readability at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, balancing utilitarian toughness with a slightly mischievous, off-kilter charm. Its condensed heft and roughened regularity evoke vintage signage and cut-stencil craft, making it feel energetic rather than polished or corporate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while adding a crafted, slightly irregular texture. Its sturdy, squared forms and condensed proportions suggest a display face aimed at punchy titles and attention-focused messaging rather than long-form reading.
The design’s intentional irregularities—subtle asymmetries, tight internal spaces, and varying curvature—add texture at display sizes but may feel dense in small text. The font’s rhythm is strongly vertical, with consistent width discipline and a poster-oriented presence.
