Sans Faceted Afti 6 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Pierce Jameson' by Grezline Studio, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, with curves replaced by faceted, octagonal turns. Stroke weight is consistent throughout, producing a sturdy, uniform color in text. Counters tend to be rectangular or chamfered, and terminals end in flat, squared cuts with frequent 45° corner bevels. The lowercase maintains a tall, dominant x-height with compact apertures and simplified forms, while numerals echo the same chamfered geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display applications where its geometric facets can be appreciated: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It can work for short UI labels or badges when high-impact, condensed messaging is needed, but the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for long passages.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, equipment-label feel. Its crisp facets and squared construction read as mechanical and no-nonsense, leaning toward retro-industrial signage rather than friendly or literary typography.
The design appears intended to translate a hard-edged, machined look into a clean sans structure, prioritizing bold presence and crisp, planar geometry. Its consistent chamfers and simplified construction suggest a focus on reproducible, sign-ready shapes that remain recognizable under tight spacing and strong contrast.
In continuous text the tight interior spaces and angular joins create a dense, punchy texture. The distinctive faceting is most noticeable on rounded letters and bowls, giving the face a consistent “cut metal” silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures.
