Sans Faceted Etbe 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to '946 Latin' by Roman Type, 'Boxed' and 'Boxed Round' by Tipo Pèpel, 'From the Internet' by Typodermic, and 'URW Dock Condensed' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A sharply angular sans with faceted, cut-corner construction that replaces curves with straight segments. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with squared terminals and frequent chamfers that give counters an octagonal feel (notably in C, O, and 0/8/9). The overall slant is consistent, producing a forward-leaning rhythm, while proportions emphasize tall, narrow forms; capitals feel especially upright and compact, and lowercase is tall with short extenders and a sturdy, mechanical build. Numerals and many joins show deliberate notches and planar breaks that read as engineered rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short statements where the angular silhouettes can carry impact—sports identities, event posters, esports/stream overlays, and product or equipment labeling. It can also work for UI accents or section headers when you want a hard-edged, forward-moving voice rather than a neutral text tone.
The typeface projects speed and force, with a no-nonsense, competitive tone reminiscent of athletic branding and rugged equipment marking. Its faceted geometry and forward slant add a synthetic, high-energy feel that can skew toward sci-fi or tactical aesthetics depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern display voice by combining a forward slant with faceted, chamfered geometry that suggests machined precision and speed. Its consistent planar construction prioritizes punchy shapes and branding memorability over softness or text-oriented warmth.
Distinctive cut-ins and chamfered corners create strong silhouette recognition at display sizes, but the dense, angular interiors can darken quickly in long text. The design keeps a consistent geometric logic across letters and figures, supporting cohesive headlines and short bursts of copy.
