Sans Faceted Elke 6 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, and 'From the Internet' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-leaning sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted curves that read as cut planes rather than smooth arcs. Strokes are uniform and thick, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal shears that create a dynamic, slanted rhythm. Counters are compact and often polygonal (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), while joins and shoulders resolve into crisp angles for a strong, mechanical silhouette. Overall spacing and proportions feel tight and efficient, emphasizing solid black shapes and clear, high-impact forms.
Best suited to short, bold settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and team identities, event graphics, and gaming or tech interfaces. It also works well for labels, packaging callouts, and signage-style typography when a hard-edged, performance-driven voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, evoking speed, toughness, and utility. Its angular construction and italic slant suggest performance and urgency, with a sporty/industrial edge that feels at home in competitive or action-oriented contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual force with a streamlined, speed-oriented slant, replacing roundness with planar cuts to create a rugged, contemporary display voice. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent faceted system to remain legible and distinctive in bold, attention-grabbing applications.
The faceting is consistently applied across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive ‘machined’ look. Narrow apertures and dense counters increase punch at display sizes, while the oblique stance adds motion even in short words or headings.
