Sans Faceted Asre 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bokeseni' by AukimVisuel, 'Morgan Poster' by Feliciano, 'Franzen' by PSY/OPS, and 'Leverkusen' by Trequartista Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from chunky strokes and clipped corners, replacing most curves with beveled, faceted turns. The silhouettes are tall and tight, with narrow internal counters and squared terminals that often step or notch at joins. Round letters (O, C, G) read as rounded-rect forms with planar cut-ins, while diagonals (K, X, Z) feel chiseled and mechanical. The overall rhythm is dense and uniform, favoring strong verticals and simplified geometry over nuanced modulation.
Best suited for high-impact headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its dense, chiseled forms can be appreciated. It works especially well for sports and event branding, product packaging, badges, and logo marks that need a tough, industrial voice. For extended reading, it’s more effective in larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a machined, hard-edged character that suggests signage, equipment labeling, and competitive energy. Its faceted construction adds a retro-industrial flavor, evoking stamped metal, sports wordmarks, and bold poster lettering without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a condensed footprint, using faceted corners and squared construction to create a rugged, engineered aesthetic. Its consistent bevel language and simplified counters prioritize bold recognizability and a strong graphic stamp in display contexts.
Distinctive notches and bevels become a repeating motif across the alphabet, creating a consistent “cut” texture in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compact, block-like presence, producing strong color on the page and clear, high-impact shapes at larger sizes.
