Sans Faceted Afja 6 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mika Sans' by Ghozai Studio (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: headlines, posters, branding, packaging, signage, industrial, techno, retro, authoritative, utilitarian, impact, precision, durability, space-saving, uniformity, octagonal, angular, geometric, condensed, sturdy.
This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets that create an octagonal, machined silhouette. Strokes are heavy and even, with squared terminals and consistent stroke behavior across the set. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the overall width is tight, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in words. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with simplified, boxy forms and minimal modulation, while numerals echo the same cut-corner geometry for strong consistency.
Best suited for short-form display: headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and bold signage where its angular voice can carry. It can also work for UI labels or technical graphics when used sparingly and with adequate spacing to keep dense shapes from crowding.
The faceted construction and tight proportions give it a functional, engineered tone—confident and assertive rather than friendly. It reads as modern-industrial with a retro edge, evoking stenciled hardware markings, arcade-era display lettering, or sci‑fi interface labels.
The design intention appears to be a robust, space-efficient display sans that communicates precision and durability through faceted geometry. Its consistent chamfered corners and heavy strokes suggest a deliberate move toward an engineered, industrial aesthetic optimized for impact.
The repeated chamfers on corners create a distinctive texture at headline sizes, where the “cut” geometry becomes the primary visual signature. In longer lines the dense spacing and compact counters can feel intense, so careful tracking and generous leading help maintain clarity.
