OSB aint very pretty - maybe consider birch faced ply with a lipping?
MDF would need a good few gallows brackets if youre going to load it - it’ll sag otherwise.

I could use brackets whatever's best?
Those gallows brackets in your pic look good to me.....it depends on how deep the shelves need to be, of course.

The shelves will be 1 metre. Thats my worry. But it'll run from the wall on the left to the wall on the right and also along wall above door. Three walls Is it doable?Those gallows brackets in your pic look good to me.....it depends on how deep the shelves need to be, of course.

It's for storage. How about 4 by 2 running across on top of baton so shelf doesn't bow then shelf put on top of these?
If your shelves are to be one metre deep, I think you'll have to consider supporting from the floor with verticals if there is to be any weight at all......there will be one hell of a cantilever effect from the weight of the shelves alone.
What you propose is possible, with say 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" bearers along the walls......I don't think 4x2 is necessary but there's nothing to stop you!

Very deep shelving is not very practical .
Those typical 'london' style brackets are fine for what you have there.

At 1m deep, I would be looking toward suspending by steel wires from above, from the joists supporting the front edge. Along with a wooden baton along the walls to provide support at the wall, you could even reuse those gallows brackets instead.
It was for storage but changed mind it's now 45cm deep on strong brackets. Mezzanine
