The octagar family of temperaments are rank-3 temperaments tempering out the octagar comma, 4000/3969. While most 7-limit planar temperaments exhibit a tendency towards tuning flat, many people seem to prefer a slight sharp tendency instead. Octagar provides this; for instance the 7-odd-limit minimax tuning has fifths and 7's 2.245 cents sharp, with just major thirds.

Linear temperaments that temper out the octagar comma can be found in octagar temperaments.
