Sans Faceted Aslu 1 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Monbloc' by Rui Nogueira, 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Interrupt Display Pro' by T4 Foundry, 'Bikemberg' by Umka Type, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans built from straight strokes with clipped, faceted corners in place of curves. Counters and bowls are simplified into octagonal and rectangular shapes, producing a consistent chamfered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. Stroke weight is uniform and dense, with tight apertures and short, squared terminals that keep letterforms rigid and mechanical. Numerals and capitals share a strong, vertical stance, while lowercase maintains a practical, legible structure with the same angular construction.
Best suited to display applications where bold, compact letterforms need to hit hard: headlines, posters, cover lines, and punchy editorial callouts. It also fits sports branding, industrial or tech-adjacent identities, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage where an engineered, angular voice is desirable.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a decisive, no-nonsense presence. Its faceted geometry reads as engineered and rugged, lending a sporty, industrial edge that feels confident and assertive. The look also carries a retro display flavor, reminiscent of stenciled or machined signage without becoming decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while maintaining a coherent, faceted construction across the set. By substituting curves with planar cuts and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for a sturdy, manufactured feel that stays legible in bold display contexts.
The design relies on chamfers to control joins and reduce sharp points, creating a consistent “cut” motif throughout. Spacing and proportions emphasize compactness, which boosts impact at larger sizes but can make interior spaces feel tight in longer text. The sample text shows strong word-shape consistency and a steady vertical cadence suited to headline settings.
