Sans Faceted Afty 1 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Air Corps JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Plexes Pro' by Monotype, 'Archimoto V01' by Owl king project, and 'Octin College' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from sturdy, straight strokes with consistent thickness and extensive chamfering, creating octagonal counters and faceted outer corners in place of curves. The silhouettes are compact and geometric, with squared terminals and diagonal cut-offs that keep round letters (O, C, G, S) firmly polygonal. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while the lowercase stays similarly blocky with simplified bowls and minimal modulation; joins and apertures tend to be tight, emphasizing solidity over softness. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, yielding bold, sign-like figures with clear, angular interior shapes.
It works best for headlines, posters, labels, and bold branding where the faceted shapes can read clearly and add character. It’s also well-suited to sports-themed graphics, team identifiers, and industrial or tech-oriented signage, where compact, high-impact letterforms are desirable.
The overall tone reads tough, utilitarian, and energetic—like lettering used for sports identifiers, equipment labeling, or arcade-era UI. Its faceted geometry adds a techno-mechanical edge while still feeling familiar and straightforward, projecting strength and immediacy rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-corner stencil/plate aesthetic into a clean, uniform alphabet. By replacing curves with planar facets and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for a strong, reproducible look that maintains a rugged, engineered feel across letters and numerals.
Because many forms rely on clipped corners and small apertures, texture can become dense in long text, especially at smaller sizes. The distinctive angular treatment of traditionally round glyphs gives the font a strong, consistent voice that stands out most in short, high-contrast settings.
