Sans Faceted Elri 7 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Forza' by Hoefler & Co., 'Celluloid JNL' and 'Sandalwood JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Hyperspace Race' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces curves with planar cuts and chamfered corners. Strokes are uniform in weight, with squared terminals and consistent diagonal slant across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters tend toward polygonal shapes, and the overall rhythm is compact and forward-leaning, with broad, sturdy capitals and slightly narrower, utilitarian lowercase forms. Numerals follow the same cut-corner geometry, producing a cohesive, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed are desirable: sports identity systems, esports graphics, product marks, event posters, and punchy headings. It can also work for short UI labels or technical callouts when a rugged, engineered voice is intended, but the faceting favors larger sizes over long reading.
The sharp facets and forward slant give the face a fast, forceful tone that reads as sporty and tech-driven. Its hard angles and dense color suggest machinery, competition, and high-energy branding rather than warmth or editorial refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver a streamlined, high-impact voice by combining a strong oblique stance with a cut-metal, faceted geometry. The consistent chamfers and squared terminals suggest an intention to feel precise, fast, and mechanically modern while staying highly legible in bold display use.
The design relies on repeated chamfer angles and straight segments to maintain consistency across the set, creating a distinctive ‘machined’ texture in text. The slant is strong enough to imply motion, so word shapes feel dynamic even at larger sizes.
