Sans Faceted Elmu 2 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'Brainy Variable Sans' by Maculinc, 'Conthey' by ROHH, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy-ink display sans built from crisp, faceted strokes. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered corners and short planar segments, producing octagonal counters and clipped terminals across rounds and diagonals. The italic slant is consistent and forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals and tight internal spaces that emphasize mass and impact. Numerals and capitals share a uniform, engineered geometry, while the lowercase keeps the same angular construction and compact rhythm for cohesive texture in words.
Best suited to large-scale display uses such as posters, event graphics, team or esports branding, apparel graphics, and bold packaging titles. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set generously, but it is not optimized for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, combining a sporty, scoreboard-like attitude with a hard-edged, industrial precision. The faceted construction adds a slightly retro, arcade or motorsport flavor, giving headlines a punchy, competitive feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using faceted geometry and an italic forward motion to suggest speed, toughness, and mechanical clarity.
The angular joins and small apertures can fill in at small sizes, so the design reads best when given room. Straight-sided bowls and clipped corners create a distinctive silhouette that stays consistent across the set, helping short words and initials remain recognizable.
