Sans Faceted Epna 11 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, tall x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Chamelton' by Alex Khoroshok and 'Adhesive Letters JNL' and 'Eckhardt Poster Display JNL' by Jeff Levine (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with octagonal geometry and pronounced chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Strokes are mostly uniform and rectangular, with angular bowls and counters that read like cutouts; the “O/0” style forms appear as multi-sided rings. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a tall x-height and short extenders, while the uppercase maintains a squared, poster-like silhouette. Many glyphs show deliberate roughness—small nicks and uneven interior edges—giving the face a worn, printed texture while preserving strong, consistent letter spacing and an even rhythm in lines of text.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, event graphics, and branding that benefits from an industrial or rugged edge. It also works well for signage-style layouts and packaging where strong silhouettes and a stamped/printed impression are desirable.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, evoking stamped metal, crate markings, and no-nonsense signage. Its faceted construction and distressed texture add grit and urgency, leaning toward an industrial and retro display feel rather than a polished corporate voice.
This font appears designed to translate a hard-edged, faceted construction into a compact, highly impactful text color, while adding a distressed finish for character. The consistent angular system suggests an aim for uniformity and clarity in display settings, with texture used to convey grit and tactility.
The crisp chamfers keep letterforms legible at larger sizes, while the intentional surface wear introduces visual noise that becomes more noticeable as size decreases. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with especially distinctive polygonal bowls in 0, 6, 8, and 9.
