Sans Faceted Bete 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Protrakt Variable' by Arkitype, 'Double Back' by Comicraft, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with hard chamfered corners and faceted cuts that replace curves with short straight segments. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-impact silhouettes and tight internal counters. Uppercase forms feel broad and architectural, while the lowercase is similarly chunky, with single-storey a and g and squared punctuation-like terminals. Numerals and capitals share the same octagonal, cut-corner logic, giving the set a uniform, sign-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and bold branding where a strong, cut-corner geometry is desirable. It also works well for sports identities, team or event graphics, labels, and short signage-style phrases that benefit from a sturdy, high-contrast-from-the-page presence.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, equipment-marking energy and a hint of retro varsity lettering. Its sharp facets and compact counters read as rugged and no-nonsense, emphasizing impact over softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of stenciled or machined lettering into a clean digital display face, using planar facets to keep forms crisp and consistent. The goal seems to be maximum impact and recognizability through simple geometry and strong, compact letterforms.
The faceting is applied systematically across rounds and diagonals, creating a cohesive geometric texture in words. In running text, the dense color and reduced apertures make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the cut corners and counters can breathe.
