Sans Faceted Anwe 1 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Artegra Sans' by Artegra, 'BR Nebula' by Brink, 'Dallas Print Shop' by Fenotype, 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, and 'FS Emeric' by Fontsmith (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, monolinear sans with sharply chamfered corners that turn round forms into faceted, near-octagonal shapes. Strokes are broad and even, with squared terminals and consistent, planar cuts at joins and curves. Counters tend to be compact and geometric, and the overall rhythm is dense and stable, with generous letter widths and a strong, block-like silhouette. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted construction, producing a cohesive, engineered look across the set.
This style is well-suited to short, bold applications such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and packaging where the faceted construction can be a central visual feature. It can also work for signage or labels that benefit from sturdy shapes and strong presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The faceted geometry gives the font a rugged, industrial tone with a sporty, equipment-like presence. It reads as technical and assertive, evoking stamped metal, signage, or performance branding rather than soft or literary typography.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a hard-edged, machined aesthetic by replacing curves with deliberate facets. The goal seems to be high visual impact and a distinctive, engineered personality while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable.
The distinctive chamfers are prominent at corners and curve transitions, creating crisp highlights and a consistent “cut” motif throughout. The lowercase maintains a utilitarian, straightforward structure, and the overall color on the page is very dark and compact, favoring impact over delicacy.
