Sans Faceted Etbo 8 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Broadside Text' and 'Register' by Device, 'Karnchang' by Jipatype, and 'Quarca' by insigne (names referenced only for comparison).

A slanted, angular display sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with planar chamfers replacing most curves. Forms are wide-shouldered and compact, with squared counters and clipped terminals that create a distinctly faceted silhouette. Strokes are heavy and even, while diagonals and cut-in notches add rhythmic breaks in places like S, C, G, and the numerals. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged construction, keeping bowls and arches polygonal rather than round.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as sports identities, team graphics, gaming and tech packaging, posters, and punchy editorial headlines. It can also work for event promotion and signage where a sharp, kinetic voice is desired, but its dense, faceted details are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, evoking speed and impact through its forward lean and chiseled geometry. Its hard facets and compressed apertures give it an assertive, competitive feel that reads as technical and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a dynamic, speed-driven sans with a machined, faceted construction—prioritizing impact and a cohesive angular motif across letters and numbers.
The faceting introduces strong texture in text settings, especially where repeated chamfers create a saw-tooth cadence along baselines and shoulders. Numerals share the same clipped-corner logic, helping mixed alphanumeric strings feel cohesive and purposeful.
