Sans Faceted Ofba 10 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'EFCO Fairley' by Ephemera Fonts, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, and 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with octagonal construction and consistent chamfered corners that replace most curves with straight facets. Strokes are uniformly thick with squared terminals, producing a crisp, mechanical rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Counters tend toward rectangular or polygonal shapes, and diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and sturdy, keeping the texture dense and even in text.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact look is needed, especially in tech, industrial, or sports-adjacent contexts. It can also work for signage and labels where sharp, blocky forms support quick recognition, though its dense texture suggests keeping long passages to larger sizes.
The faceted geometry gives the face a technical, engineered tone—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly retro in a way that recalls industrial labeling and scoreboard numerals. Its sharp corners and tight proportions feel energetic and purposeful, projecting strength and precision rather than softness or warmth.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a strict, faceted geometry into a practical display sans—maximizing impact and consistency while maintaining recognizable silhouettes. The emphasis on chamfered corners and uniform stroke weight suggests a deliberate aim for a rugged, manufactured feel that stays legible in bold applications.
The design’s repeated chamfer motif unifies letters and figures, helping the font hold together in all-caps settings and at medium-to-large sizes. Numerals share the same polygonal logic, with distinctive angular bowls and corners that read clearly and reinforce the industrial voice.
