Sans Faceted Ufba 4 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Adversary BB' by Blambot, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Radley' by Variatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with consistent stroke weight and widespread chamfered corners that turn curves into flat facets. Counters and bowls read as squarish or octagonal shapes, giving letters a machined, engineered feel. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals and short apertures; terminals are typically clipped rather than rounded, creating crisp, planar edges throughout. Numerals follow the same faceted logic with strong, squared forms and clear interior cutouts.
Best suited to large-scale typography where the faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, apparel graphics, and sports-themed identities. It can also work for packaging, labels, and signage where a rugged, industrial voice is desired, especially in short phrases and logotypes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking hardware markings, sports numbering, and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and dense silhouettes feel confident and high-impact, leaning more mechanical than friendly.
The design appears intended to translate rounded sans structures into a hard-edged, planar system, prioritizing impact and a fabricated, machined aesthetic. The consistent corner clipping and chunky proportions suggest a focus on display presence and visual toughness rather than delicate readability at small sizes.
In the sample text, the texture stays very dark and even, with minimal modulation and few delicate details. The faceting is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain a unified voice at display sizes.
