Sans Faceted Elho 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evolutics' by Ghozai Studio, 'Early Edition JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: sports branding, posters, headlines, apparel, game titles, athletic, aggressive, industrial, futuristic, action, impact, speed, strength, modernity, display, angular, faceted, condensed, slanted, blocky.
This typeface uses steeply slanted, condensed letterforms built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with clipped corners, chamfered terminals, and wedge-like joins that create a chiseled, mechanical silhouette. Counters are tight and often polygonal, giving rounded shapes like O and 0 an octagonal feel; diagonals dominate the structure and push the rhythm forward. Spacing appears compact, and the overall texture is dense and dark, especially in all-caps settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as sports identities, event posters, fitness and motorsport graphics, team apparel, esports or game title treatments, and bold product labeling. Its dense color and angular detailing make it most effective at display sizes rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and competitive, with a strong "speed" impression from the forward slant and hard-edged geometry. It reads as tough and utilitarian—more about impact and motion than warmth—evoking performance, machinery, and high-energy headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual momentum and toughness through condensed proportions, a pronounced slant, and faceted construction. By replacing curves with crisp planes and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for a modern, engineered look that holds up in bold branding contexts.
Uppercase and numerals feel particularly sturdy and sign-ready, while lowercase maintains the same faceted construction, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case text. The sample text shows good punch at large sizes, where the chamfers and angled cuts become a defining graphic detail.
