Sans Faceted Urto 9 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Tactic Round' and 'Tactic Sans' by Miller Type Foundry, 'Beachwood' and 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' by Swell Type, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with pronounced chamfered corners and flat, planar joins that replace most curves with faceted geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense silhouettes and compact internal counters (notably in O, Q, 8, and 9). The forms lean on squared bowls, clipped terminals, and rectangular apertures; diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are broad and stable, while horizontals often read as long bars with squared ends. Spacing appears sturdy and even, and the overall rhythm favors tight, dark texture with clear, hard-edged shapes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its dense color and crisp facets can read as intentional design: headlines, posters, packaging accents, esports or sports identity, and game or sci‑fi interface graphics. It can also work for bold wordmarks and badges where a hard-edged, engineered presence is desired.
The faceted construction and substantial weight give the face an engineered, utilitarian tone that feels modern and tech-forward. Its angular cuts suggest machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and performance branding, projecting strength and precision rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate a technical, machined aesthetic into a readable sans by standardizing chamfers and planar cuts across the alphabet and numerals. By keeping stroke weight stable and counters compact, it prioritizes impact and a cohesive angular voice for display typography.
Distinctive features include a squared, almost octagonal O, a Q with an angled tail, and numerals that echo the same clipped, technical logic (e.g., a segmented 2 and a blocky 8). The lowercase maintains the same industrial geometry, with single-storey a and g and a sturdy, rectangular i/j treatment that keeps the texture consistent in text.
