Sans Faceted Afso 1 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Resiliency3' by Alphabet Agency, 'Delgos' by Typebae, and 'Reigner' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with faceted planes. Terminals are squared and consistently cut at angles, creating octagonal silhouettes in rounded letters like O, C, and G. Strokes read largely even in thickness with tight internal counters and compact spacing, producing a dense, punchy texture. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simple, sturdy forms (notably a single-storey a) and minimal modulation; numerals share the same chamfered, engineered construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, brand marks, product labels, and sports or event graphics. It can also work for UI titles, scoreboard-style readouts, or signage where a strong, engineered look is desired, while long-form text will feel dense and visually insistent.
The overall tone is hard-edged and mechanical, with a crisp, machined feel that suggests utility signage, hardware, and futuristic interfaces. Its faceted geometry also adds a retro arcade/scoreboard flavor, making the voice energetic and competitive rather than neutral or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint while maintaining a coherent, faceted geometry across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. By translating curves into planar cuts, it aims for a rugged, technical aesthetic that reads as modern-industrial with a hint of arcade nostalgia.
The chamfered corner system is applied very consistently, giving words a rhythmic pattern of diagonal cuts that becomes more prominent at larger sizes. Tight apertures and compact counters increase impact but can reduce clarity in long passages, especially where letters cluster.
