Sans Faceted Afbe 4 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Corner Deli' by Fenotype, 'Treadstone' by Rook Supply, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, 'Breuer Condensed' by TypeTrust, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with hard chamfers and faceted corners that replace curves with planar cuts. Strokes are uniformly heavy, producing dense, dark letterforms with compact counters and strong vertical emphasis. Rounds (like O, C, G, 0) resolve into octagonal shapes, while joins and terminals tend to be squared-off with angled clipping, creating a crisp, machined rhythm. Lowercase follows the same angular logic and reads as compact and sturdy rather than calligraphic, with simplified forms and tight internal spaces.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, team or event branding, labels, and bold packaging. It also works well for numbers in contexts like scores, pricing, and badges where a compact, forceful presence is desirable.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and sporty. Its clipped geometry suggests engineered signage and competitive branding—confident, utilitarian, and slightly retro in a varsity/athletic way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, engineered geometry. By systematically chamfering corners and squaring curves into facets, it aims for a rugged, modern-industrial identity that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
The heavy weight and condensed width create strong impact at display sizes, while the small apertures and tight counters can make long passages feel dense. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted, octagonal construction, giving headings and scores a consistent, uniform voice.
