Sans Faceted Bety 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nusara' by Locomotype, 'Volcano' by Match & Kerosene, 'American Auto' by Miller Type Foundry, and 'Dalle' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with straight facets. Counters are generally rectangular and tightly enclosed, and the overall silhouette stays compact with a steady, sturdy rhythm. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with frequent diagonal cuts at terminals and corners that create a consistent, planed geometry across caps, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase uses simplified, angular constructions (notably in rounded letters) and the numerals follow the same clipped, polygonal logic for a unified texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where strong silhouettes and sharp geometry are an advantage. It also works well for sports branding, badges, and logo wordmarks, as well as packaging or labels that need an assertive, industrial voice. In longer passages, use with ample spacing to keep the dense color from feeling crowded.
The faceted construction and dense weight give the face a tough, no-nonsense tone with a sporty, industrial edge. Its sharp planes read as engineered and energetic, evoking utilitarian signage, team graphics, and retro arcade or stencil-adjacent attitudes without ornamental softness.
The design appears intended to translate a sturdy sans structure into a planar, chiseled vocabulary, emphasizing impact and graphic presence over softness or calligraphic nuance. Its consistent chamfering and compact counters suggest a focus on reproducible, signage-like forms that stay bold and coherent across letters and numbers.
Texture becomes quite dark in paragraph settings due to the large mass and narrow internal whitespace, so it benefits from generous tracking and leading. The angular shapes remain clear at larger sizes where the chamfers and planar cuts can be appreciated, while smaller sizes may lose some interior definition in tight counters.
