Sans Faceted Epbi 7 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Gainsborough' by Fenotype, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Hemispheres' by Runsell Type, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal geometry. Terminals are squared or beveled, producing a poster-like silhouette with strong vertical stress and compact counters. The lowercase echoes the same hard-edged construction, with simplified bowls and angled joins that keep texture dense and uniform across words. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, reading like stamped or cut vinyl forms with minimal internal shaping.
Best suited to headlines, poster copy, logo marks, and bold branding systems where the faceted silhouettes can read cleanly and set a strong tone. It works especially well for sports identities, industrial or tactical-themed packaging, event graphics, and signage-style treatments where weight and angularity are assets.
The overall tone is bold and forceful, with a rugged, industrial edge. Its faceted construction suggests utility and toughness, while the uniform block rhythm lends a sporty, team-identity feel. The voice is attention-grabbing and slightly retro, evoking signage and emblem lettering rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that translates the look of cut, machined, or stenciled letterforms into a consistent digital alphabet. Its primary goal is to deliver a distinctive, hard-edged presence with reliable uniformity across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At larger sizes the bevels and internal cut-ins become a defining detail, creating a distinctive sparkle along diagonals and corners. In longer lines the dense color and tight interior shapes can visually “clump,” so generous tracking and ample line spacing help preserve clarity.
