Sans Faceted Elfu 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Grid Hero' by PizzaDude.dk, 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K, and 'Huberica' by The Native Saint Club (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans built from sharp planar cuts rather than smooth curves. Letterforms are blocky and compact with squared counters and clipped corners, creating a consistent faceted silhouette across rounds and diagonals. Strokes read largely even, with straight segments and abrupt angle changes; joins are crisp and terminals tend to end in slanted, cut-off shapes. The overall rhythm is tight and mechanical, with sturdy verticals, decisive diagonals, and simplified bowls that prioritize impact over softness.
Best used where punch and immediacy matter—headlines, posters, sports and esports identities, packaging callouts, and entertainment or game title treatments. The dense, angular construction favors short phrases and display settings, especially when you want a rugged, engineered look.
The tone is forceful and high-energy, with a technical, machined feel that suggests speed and strength. Its sharp facets and forward slant give it an assertive, action-oriented character suited to bold, competitive messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern display voice by replacing curves with beveled planes and keeping forms compact and forward-leaning. It aims for instant recognition and a rugged, technical attitude rather than neutrality or long-form readability.
Numbers and capitals share the same hard-edged construction, keeping a uniform, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks. In text, the oblique angle and dense shapes create strong momentum, while the faceting adds distinctive texture that becomes more prominent at larger sizes.
