Sans Faceted Anwo 7 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Forza' by Hoefler & Co., 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Purista' by Suitcase Type Foundry, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight facets. Strokes are thick and uniform, with squared terminals and frequent 45° cuts on outer corners and inner counters, creating an octagonal, stenciled-by-facets impression without actual breaks. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with wide shoulders and tight apertures; bowls and counters tend toward squarish rectangles (notably in O/0 and D), and diagonals are crisp and geometric. Numerals echo the same chamfered geometry, keeping a consistent, mechanical rhythm across letters and figures.
Best suited to large sizes where the sharp facets and compact counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold brand marks. It can also work for sports-themed identities, labels, and packaging that benefit from an engineered, high-impact voice.
The overall tone is bold and hard-edged, suggesting machinery, sports uniforms, and utilitarian signage. Its faceted construction reads as engineered and assertive, with a slightly retro arcade/scoreboard flavor that feels energetic and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a geometric, faceted construction that stays consistent across the character set. By substituting curves with chamfered planes, it aims to project strength and precision while remaining highly legible in display contexts.
The faceting is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the design a coherent modular feel. The lowercase maintains the same blocky structure as the uppercase, favoring straight-sided forms and squared curves, which emphasizes impact over softness.
