Sans Faceted Ofdy 3 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Chamelton' by Alex Khoroshok, 'Ciutadella' and 'Ciutadella Rounded' by Emtype Foundry, 'Realtime Text' and 'Realtime Text Rounded' by Juri Zaech, 'Kommon Grotesk' by TypeK, and 'Manual' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric, all-caps-forward sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with consistent chamfers. The forms read as sturdy and compact, with squared terminals, octagonal counters, and a largely uniform stroke presence that keeps color even across lines. Uppercase shapes lean toward signage-like construction (notably in C/G/O/Q), while the lowercase simplifies into clean, single-storey structures with the same faceted logic. Numerals continue the theme with angular bowls and cut-ins that maintain a disciplined, mechanical rhythm.
Best suited to display roles where the faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and wayfinding. It also works well for short UI labels or product naming where a rugged, technical tone is desired, while extended body copy may feel visually busy due to the frequent cornering.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with a sporty, industrial edge that feels at home in technical or equipment-driven contexts. Its faceted geometry evokes engineered surfaces and machined parts, giving text a confident, no-nonsense voice that can also read as retro-futuristic in headlines.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, engineered aesthetic by systematically chamfering corners and constructing curves from planar segments. This approach prioritizes visual punch, consistency, and a machined feel across letters and numerals for strong recognition in branding and display typography.
The angular decisions are applied consistently across the set, creating strong stylistic unity at display sizes. The faceting introduces distinctive inner shapes and corners that become a key identifying feature in words, making the design more characterful than a standard geometric sans while remaining highly structured.
