Sans Faceted Elha 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Eurostile Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Goudar HL' by Stawix, 'Ggx89' by Typodermic, and 'Folio' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, slanted display face built from sharp planar cuts rather than smooth curves. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared terminals, clipped corners, and small, angular counters that create a chiseled silhouette. The proportions are tightly condensed and vertically emphatic, with a rhythmic forward lean and a consistently faceted treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is best suited to short, prominent text where its faceted shapes and tight width can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, sports branding, team apparel graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for logotypes and badges where a hard-edged, forward-driving feel is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and high-energy, with a competitive, impact-first voice. Its sharp facets and compressed stance evoke athletic graphics, rugged industrial labeling, and retro action-oriented titling.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, high-impact display voice that stays legible at larger sizes while projecting motion and toughness through slant and faceted construction.
The lowercase largely mirrors the uppercase’s geometric construction, keeping the texture dense and punchy in continuous text. Numerals follow the same clipped-corner logic, reading best when given breathing room due to the small internal spaces.
