Sans Faceted Elpi 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'School Activities JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Karibu' by ROHH, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Delm' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters and bowls are tight and angular, with octagonal/hexagonal silhouettes showing up in letters like O, Q, and the numerals. Strokes stay consistently thick while terminals are sharply cut, creating a hard-edged rhythm and compact internal spacing that reads dense and punchy. The overall texture is dark and uniform, with slightly squared, mechanical joins and a forward-leaning posture.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, esports or gaming titles, and bold logo wordmarks. It also works well for signage-style callouts and packaging accents where a fast, aggressive, geometric voice is desired. For long reading or small UI text, its dense counters and sharp detailing will be less comfortable.
The faceted geometry and strong slant convey speed and impact, giving the face a sporty, action-oriented tone. Its sharp corners and compressed counters add a tough, competitive feel that suggests performance, technology, and arcade-like energy rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to translate a bold, aerodynamic sans into a faceted, cut-metal aesthetic, emphasizing speed through slant and strength through heavy, uniform strokes. Its consistent chamfers and polygonal curves suggest a deliberate focus on a futuristic, performance-driven display voice.
The font’s angular construction produces distinctive, emblem-like forms in capitals and numerals, with polygonal round shapes and clipped diagonals that remain consistent across the set. At smaller sizes, the tight apertures and dense color may reduce clarity, but at display sizes the faceting becomes a defining visual feature.
