Sans Faceted Anpi 3 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Elise' by Context; 'Aspira' by Durotype; 'Technica' by Monotype; and 'Loew', 'Loew Next', and 'Loew Next Arabic' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with curves translated into crisp planar facets, producing octagonal counters and segmented bowls. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are cut on angles rather than rounded, giving the forms a carved, chiseled look. Proportions are broad and compact, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins; diagonals and curves are broken into short straight segments that create a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. The lowercase is single-story where applicable and keeps a sturdy, blocky build that remains clear at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted geometry can be appreciated: posters, punchy headlines, branding marks, packaging, and event or venue promotion. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, captions) when a bold, handmade personality is desired.
The faceted construction and chunky weight give the font an energetic, crafty tone—part cut-paper, part stone-carved. It feels informal and attention-grabbing, with a friendly roughness that reads as playful rather than technical.
Likely designed to deliver a strong sans foundation with a distinctive faceted gimmick—turning round geometry into planar cuts for a carved, handcrafted presence. The goal appears to be high impact and memorability, prioritizing personality and graphic texture in large sizes.
Counters tend to be polygonal and slightly asymmetric, which adds texture in text lines and makes repeated shapes (like O/Q/0) feel intentionally hand-shaped. The overall color on the page is dense and even, with distinctive angular notches that create visual sparkle in headlines.
