Sans Faceted Ufro 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to '403 Quzie' by 403TF, 'Barion' by Drizy Font, 'Bigticy' by Présence Typo, and 'Jetlab' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick and largely monoline, with squared terminals and occasional notched joins that emphasize the cut, machined silhouette. Counters are tight and rectilinear (often with small rectangular apertures), and the overall proportions feel compact and sturdy, with a prominent x-height and short extenders. The rhythm is punchy and dark, producing dense word shapes and strong vertical emphasis in text.
Best suited to display applications where its faceted, high-impact forms can be appreciated: headlines, posters, event graphics, sports identities, and bold packaging or label work. It also works well for short UI labels or wayfinding at larger sizes where the compact apertures remain legible.
The faceted geometry and slabby massing give the typeface a tough, utilitarian voice with a sporty, poster-ready edge. Its angular cuts suggest stamped metal or carved signage, creating a confident, no-nonsense tone that reads as bold and energetic rather than refined.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, geometric construction and consistent corner faceting, offering a rugged alternative to rounded display sans styles. The goal reads as strong presence and instant recognition in branding and headline contexts.
Distinctive chamfers on outer corners and insets create a consistent “cut” motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain cohesion at display sizes. The dense counters and high ink coverage can reduce internal clarity in smaller settings, where spacing and size will matter more for readability.
