Sans Faceted Elpu 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bystone' by GraphTypika, 'Flintstock' by Hustle Supply Co, 'Enamela' by K-Type, and 'Refuel' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans built from sharp planar facets, with corners cut into crisp chamfers that replace most curves. Strokes are broadly even, producing a dense, high-impact texture with tight internal counters and squared-off terminals. The construction feels mechanically consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with a forward-leaning stance and a slightly condensed, blocklike footprint that keeps letterforms compact at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and prominent labels where its weight and faceted geometry can read clearly. It works well for sports and esports identities, performance-oriented product packaging, and bold promotional graphics, especially when large scale and strong contrast with the background are available.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, leaning into a competitive, performance-driven feel. Its faceted cuts and slanted posture suggest speed, toughness, and a utilitarian edge, giving it a modern-industrial confidence with a subtle retro athletic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, rugged display voice by combining an oblique stance with beveled, cut-corner forms. Its consistent faceting and sturdy proportions prioritize impact and a technical, machined look over softness or extended text readability.
Round glyphs and numerals read as octagonal or beveled shapes, and diagonals are emphasized throughout, reinforcing the sensation of motion. The lowercase follows the same angular logic as the caps, creating a unified voice for mixed-case settings while keeping counters relatively small and sturdy.
