Sans Faceted Afvo 10 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Double Porter' by Fenotype, 'Cosmic Lager' by Vozzy, and 'Buyan' by Yu Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters are compact and often squared-off, and terminals end in hard, cut angles that create a chiseled, mechanical rhythm. The uppercase set reads tall and uniform with tight internal space, while lowercase forms echo the same geometry (notably the single-storey a and g) to keep texture dense and consistent. Figures follow the same faceted construction, with sturdy, rectangular forms that stay clear at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports identity, and bold packaging panels where its compressed width and hard-edged construction can dominate. It can also work for wayfinding or label-style applications when set large, where the faceted silhouettes remain distinct and the dense texture reads as intentional.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a slightly retro technical feel. Its sharp corners and compressed stance project strength, control, and a no-nonsense energy associated with equipment labeling, uniforms, and bold headline systems.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, using faceted geometry to suggest engineered precision and ruggedness. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent angular logic for branding and display contexts rather than delicate text typography.
The faceting is used consistently across round letters like C, G, O, and Q, giving them an octagonal silhouette. Crossbars and joins are kept simple and sturdy, emphasizing silhouette over detail, and the spacing appears tuned for compact, impact-focused setting.
