Sans Faceted Ufre 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evanston Alehouse', 'Evanston Tavern', and 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design; 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski; and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar, faceted cuts that replace most curves. Counters are tight and geometric, with squared interior shapes and clipped terminals that create a rugged, machined rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and monolithic; lowercase mirrors the same architecture with sturdy stems and short, squared shoulders, producing an even, strongly gridded texture in text. Figures follow the same cut-corner logic, reading clearly with broad strokes and minimal interior detailing.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and identity work where high impact and quick recognition matter. It also fits sports branding, rugged packaging, and signage-style graphics that benefit from an angular, cut-corner silhouette.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward sports and equipment lettering with a crisp, engineered edge. Its faceted cuts add a retro-display flavor—like painted signage or team marks—while maintaining a clean, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to translate a classic block sans into a faceted, cut-metal aesthetic, prioritizing strong silhouettes, uniform weight, and a distinctive chamfered profile for display-centric applications.
The faceting is consistently applied across straight and round-derived letters, so bowls and diagonals share the same clipped geometry. Spacing in the sample text reads dense and impactful, favoring headline punch over airy refinement.
