Sans Faceted Ratu 4 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ely Rounded' by Cory Maylett Design, 'Menco' by Kvant, 'Grovana' by Larin Type Co, 'Mundial Narrow' and 'Rotunda' by TipoType, 'TT Norms Pro' by TypeType, and 'Dylan' by Wiescher Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with crisp, planar facets that replace many curves with short angled cuts. Strokes are consistently thick with a sturdy, monoline feel, and terminals often end in chamfered corners rather than smooth rounds. Counters are simplified and fairly open for the weight, while joins and diagonals create a distinctly cut-metal rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms read blocky and engineered; lowercase keeps a compact, utilitarian structure with single-storey shapes and squared-off details.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where the faceted construction can be appreciated and the heavy weight can carry impact. It works well for branding, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a rugged, engineered voice. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels industrial and purposeful, like signage cut from sheet material or a functional display face for equipment and packaging. Its angular interruptions add a mildly aggressive, tactical edge without becoming decorative or playful. The result is modern, direct, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary sans voice while introducing a distinctive cut-and-chamfer motif that evokes machined parts and technical signage. The consistent angular treatment suggests a focus on strong identity and reproducible, graphic forms across letters and figures.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (C/G/O/Q) and at key stroke transitions, producing a recognizable signature even at smaller sizes. Numerals are similarly robust and geometric, matching the uppercase’s solid presence and maintaining a strong, uniform color in text.
