Sans Faceted Afnu 11 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Fester' by Fontfabric, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with sharply faceted contours and consistent, low-contrast strokes. Curves are replaced by chamfers and planar cuts, producing a crisp, geometric rhythm with squared terminals and tight internal counters. Uppercase forms feel tall and compact with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, utilitarian build; round letters like O/C/G read as multi-sided shapes rather than true ovals. Numerals follow the same blocky, cut-corner logic for a cohesive, sign-like texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding that need compact width and high impact. It also works well for labels, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage where a hard-edged, technical voice is desired, and for short UI or product callouts when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial and athletic edge. Its chiseled geometry suggests machinery, sports branding, and high-impact messaging where clarity and force matter more than softness or nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a space-efficient footprint, using faceted geometry to create a distinctive, modern-industrial signature. Its consistent stroke weight and angular construction prioritize bold legibility and a strong visual identity in display settings.
The faceting creates distinctive highlights along corners at display sizes, and the narrow set helps pack a lot of characters into limited horizontal space. The design’s tight apertures and dense counters give it a compact, poster-like color that stays consistent across mixed-case text and numerals.
