Sans Faceted Dosa 1 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Francker', 'Francker Paneuropean', and 'Quitador Sans' by Linotype and 'Juhl' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar facets that replace most curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing a strong, compact color with minimal internal counters. The forms lean on squared geometry and clipped diagonals (notably in rounds like C, G, O, and Q), while joins and terminals stay blunt and mechanical. Lowercase echoes the same faceted construction, with a single-storey a and g, short-shouldered r, and sturdy verticals that keep word shapes chunky and stable.
Best suited to large display settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, team or event graphics, and bold signage where its faceted geometry can be clearly perceived. It also works well for short, high-impact statements on apparel, packaging, and UI hero moments when a rugged, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sports-and-equipment energy that feels engineered rather than handwritten. The faceting adds a hard-edged, retro-industrial attitude, making the texture feel bold, decisive, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense strokes and a consistent faceted construction, evoking cut-metal or varsity-style blocks without ornamental detail. Its geometry prioritizes immediacy and toughness, aiming for strong silhouette recognition in display contexts.
The tight apertures and small counters can fill in at small sizes, so the design reads best when given room to breathe. Numerals follow the same clipped, octagonal logic, and punctuation (as seen in the sample) stays simple and weighty to match the letterforms.
