Sans Faceted Epky 3 is a very bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Milky Bar' by Malgorzata Bartosik, 'Brandbe' by Roman Polishchuk, and 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, heavy display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Strokes are broad and mostly uniform, with small internal notches and triangular cut-ins that create a chiseled, almost stamped texture. Counters are compact and squarish, apertures are narrow, and terminals are blunt, producing a rigid vertical rhythm. The numerals match the same angular construction, and the overall spacing feels compact to maintain a dense, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, mastheads, title cards, product packaging, and bold branding marks. It also works well for signage-style labels where a condensed footprint and strong vertical emphasis are helpful.
The font conveys a stern, no-nonsense tone with a hint of vintage industrial signage. Its sharp geometry and compressed proportions feel forceful and utilitarian, reading as commanding and slightly dramatic in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using faceted detailing to add character without relying on curves. It prioritizes a sturdy, machined look that reads as stamped, carved, or cut from rigid material.
The faceting introduces a subtle internal sparkle at large sizes, but the tight apertures and dense shapes can reduce clarity when set small or in long passages. All-caps settings look especially solid and uniform, while lowercase retains the same squared, engineered personality rather than a calligraphic or humanist feel.
