Sans Faceted Lawi 7 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Akzidenz-Grotesk Next' by Berthold and 'Arial' and 'Arial Narrow OS' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

An angular sans built from straight strokes with consistent thickness and frequent chamfered corners, replacing curves with short planar facets. Rounded forms such as C, G, O, Q, and 0 resolve into octagonal silhouettes, creating a crisp, engineered geometry. Proportions are straightforward and compact, with simple terminals and minimal modulation; counters stay open and legible, and joins remain clean and decisively cut.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where its faceted forms can be clearly seen, such as headlines, posters, product labels, packaging, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage. It can also work for UI accents or technical branding elements when a crisp, machined aesthetic is desired.
The faceted construction gives the face a mechanical, industrial tone—clean, practical, and slightly retro, like lettering designed for equipment, signage, or machined parts. Its sharp corners and polygonal rounds convey precision and toughness rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, chamfered system that suggests cut metal or beveled construction. By standardizing corners and simplifying curves into planes, it aims for a consistent, robust look that remains readable while projecting a technical identity.
In text, the repeated chamfers create a steady rhythm and a distinctive texture, especially in sequences with many rounded letters. Numerals follow the same polygonal logic, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered character across alphanumerics.
