Sans Faceted Asdi 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Skate' and 'Timeout' by DearType, 'Bergk' by Designova, 'Mollen' by Eko Bimantara, 'Goodrich' by Hendra Pratama, 'DIN Next' and 'DIN Next Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Sans Beam' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces curves with planar cuts and clipped corners. Strokes stay broadly uniform and dense, producing a sturdy silhouette and strong color on the page. Counters are tight and often polygonal, while terminals are squared or chamfered, giving letters a carved, stencil-adjacent crispness without true breaks. The forms run slightly irregular in width from glyph to glyph, and the overall rhythm feels punchy and mechanical, with clear, straightforward geometry in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, apparel graphics, sports identities, and bold packaging or label systems. It can also work for wayfinding-style signage or UI callouts when used sparingly with generous tracking and ample size.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, sports-signage energy. Its angular cuts and compact shapes read as tough, utilitarian, and a bit retro—evoking painted lettering, team marks, and rugged labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, angular voice. By using faceted corners and simplified geometry, it aims for a rugged, manufactured look that reproduces cleanly in bold, high-contrast applications.
At display sizes it delivers strong impact, but the tight counters and dense shapes can close up as sizes shrink or when set in long lines. The numerals and capitals share the same clipped, faceted logic, helping headlines and badges feel cohesive across letters and figures.
