Sans Faceted Besi 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Area51' by Comicraft, 'Futura Display EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'First Prize' by Letterhead Studio-VG, 'Futura' by Linotype, 'Futura Now' by Monotype, 'Futura ND Display' by Neufville Digital, 'Futura Display SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, and 'Futura' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with sharply faceted joins and chamfered corners that substitute for curves. Strokes are uniform and rectangular, with tight internal counters and small apertures that create compact, dark letterforms. Proportions are generally tall with a high x-height, while widths vary by character; the overall rhythm is dense and emphatic. Terminals are squared-off and often cut at angles, giving diagonals a clipped, planar feel across letters and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale applications where the angular facets can be appreciated: headlines, posters, logos, labels, and packaging. It also works well for impact-forward brand systems and apparel graphics where a compact, sturdy texture is desirable, but it is less comfortable for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The font reads as forceful and utilitarian, with a hard-edged, machine-made tone. Its faceted geometry and tight counters push it toward a retro-industrial, display-driven voice that feels bold, direct, and slightly game-like or tech-leaning.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid, monolinear strokes and planar, cut-corner geometry. By replacing curves with facets and keeping counters tight, it aims for a strong, industrial display presence with a distinctive geometric signature.
At text sizes the small apertures and concentrated black areas can reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the faceting becomes a defining detail. Numerals follow the same angular logic, reinforcing a consistent, blocky texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
