Sans Faceted Asja 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gainsborough' by Fenotype, 'Eckhardt Poster Display JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'NT Gagarin' by Novo Typo, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers. Forms are compact and squared, with octagonal outer silhouettes and rectangular counters that keep interior spaces open despite the dense weight. Terminals are consistently cut at angles, producing a faceted, engineered rhythm across rounds like C/G/O/Q and diagonals like A/V/W/Y. Lowercase echoes the same construction with simplified, sturdy shapes; ascenders are straight and slab-like, and the dot on i/j is square, reinforcing the geometric system. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, reading like bold signage figures with clear, uniform stroke endings.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel/team graphics, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It also works well for logos and title treatments where the angular, cut-corner theme can carry the visual identity. For longer text, it benefits from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a rugged, equipment-marking feel. Its faceted geometry reads as sporty and tactical, suggesting speed, impact, and durability rather than softness or refinement. The consistent chamfers add a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of stenciled labeling and bold team graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a strict, modular system of straight strokes and chamfered corners, creating a cohesive faceted look across the full set. The emphasis is on robustness and quick recognition, with simplified geometry that reads cleanly in bold display contexts.
Spacing appears fairly tight and the heavy color is very even, making the face best when it can breathe at larger sizes. The strong, repeated corner cuts create a distinctive texture in words, especially in sequences of straight-sided letters, while the angular ‘rounds’ keep the style coherent across mixed text.
