Sans Faceted Elri 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Notche' by Creatifont Studio, 'Celluloid JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Dark Sport' by Sentavio, and 'Motigen' by skillyas studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted sans with crisp planar facets replacing most curves. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with chamfered corners and clipped terminals that create a geometric, cut-metal feel. Counters are tight and angular, and several forms use beveled notches or stepped joins that sharpen the silhouette. Proportions lean compact in the uppercase with slightly more bounce in the lowercase, while the numerals follow the same faceted construction for consistent texture in running text.
Best suited to display work where sharp geometry and forward motion are assets: sports and esports identities, team apparel, event posters, action-oriented marketing, and bold packaging or labeling. It can also work for UI accents such as badges, section headers, and callouts where a technical, high-impact feel is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and combative, with a speed-forward slant and hard edges that suggest competition and impact. Its machined facets read as modern and technical, giving it a no-nonsense, performance-oriented voice rather than a friendly or editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver speed and punch through an italic stance, dense weight, and faceted, chiseled construction. By trading smooth curves for chamfers and clipped terminals, it aims for a rugged, engineered look that stays consistent across letters and numbers in prominent, attention-grabbing settings.
The strong diagonals and clipped corners create a jagged rhythm across lines, producing a dense, high-contrast silhouette against the page even without strong stroke-contrast. The italic angle is assertive, and the faceting is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the style hold together in both short labels and larger headlines.
