Sans Faceted Elte 11 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Rigid Square' by Dharma Type, 'Katerina' by NicolassFonts, 'Objet' by Pascal Tarris, and 'Kongress' by Tipo Pèpel (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted sans with aggressively chamfered corners and faceted construction that replaces curves with planar cuts. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with abrupt terminals and crisp inner counters that read as octagonal or notched shapes in letters like O, C, and G. The overall silhouette feels engineered and block-like, while the rightward slant and slightly condensed joins create a forward-driving rhythm. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, keeping the set visually consistent and punchy at display sizes.
Best suited to display work where strong presence matters: sports identities, event posters, bold headlines, product packaging, and merch graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a rugged, high-impact voice is desired, but its heaviness and sharp facets are less suited to long-form reading.
The tone is bold and forceful, with a sporty, tactical energy. Its angled stance and hard facets suggest speed, toughness, and a utilitarian, machine-made attitude rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a forward-leaning stance and a consistent system of chamfers and planar cuts. By simplifying curves into facets and keeping stroke weight robust, it aims for a durable, athletic-industrial personality that stays legible while feeling fast and aggressive.
The faceting produces distinctive ink traps/inside notches in several glyphs, adding texture and reinforcing the constructed feel. Spacing and letterforms are optimized for impact, with angular apertures and counters that help maintain recognition despite the heavy weight.
