Sans Faceted Doba 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'FX Gerundal' by Differentialtype, 'Gltp Starion' by Glowtype, 'Molde' by Letritas, and 'Obvia Narrow' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with flat facets. Strokes are thick and even, with squared terminals and geometric counters that often read as octagonal cut-ins. The overall texture is dense and compact, with tight apertures and a strong vertical rhythm; diagonals appear as stepped facets rather than smooth joins. Numerals and capitals feel especially rigid and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same planar construction and sturdy proportions for consistent color in text.
Well suited to headlines, poster typography, and logo wordmarks where bold silhouettes and angular detail carry the design. It also fits apparel graphics, team branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a rugged, industrial aesthetic. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable in short blocks or display settings at moderate-to-large sizes.
The faceted geometry and weight give the font a tough, utilitarian voice associated with industrial labeling, sports titling, and militaristic or sci‑fi interfaces. Its sharp corners and compressed openings project urgency and strength more than friendliness, making it feel commanding and deliberately mechanical.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional block sans into a faceted, machined look by systematically chamfering corners and minimizing curves. This creates a uniform, hard-edged texture optimized for impact and for themes that evoke equipment, architecture, and engineered surfaces.
Because many interior spaces are small and angles are pronounced, the face favors larger sizes where its cut corners and internal shapes stay distinct. The design reads best when you want a solid silhouette and high impact rather than airy openness.
