Sans Faceted Egbi 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Akzidenz-Grotesk Next' by Berthold, 'Frutiger' by Linotype, and 'Fact' by ParaType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces curves with planar cuts and clipped corners. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with tight internal apertures and polygonal counters (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals). Terminals are beveled rather than rounded, giving letters a machined, cut-from-plate feel. Proportions are slightly condensed in places, with sturdy, compact lowercase and an energetic rightward slant that keeps the texture dense and punchy in words.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, esports or racing graphics, apparel marks, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for brief subheads or labels where a compact, rugged voice is desired, but its dense interiors make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, evoking athletic branding, action-forward graphics, and rugged industrial labeling. The faceted silhouettes and hard edges read as tough and purposeful, with a retro-stencil/arcade edge that can feel both sporty and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight, slant, and hard-edged geometry, using faceted cuts to suggest speed and toughness while keeping letterforms broadly sans and legible. Its consistent beveled vocabulary aims to create a distinctive, branded texture that stands out in display typography.
At text sizes the tight counters and angular joins increase density and create a strong black mass, while the consistent bevel logic helps maintain a coherent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The numerals and round-based letters lean heavily on octagonal geometry, reinforcing the engineered look.
