Sans Faceted Etja 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bunken Tech Sans' by Buntype, 'Oxima' by Graviton, 'Revx Neue' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Objet' by Pascal Tarris, 'Hype vol 3' by Positype, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, and 'Bitner' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A slanted, heavy sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing a crisp, planar silhouette. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with tight interior counters and sturdy joins that keep letterforms compact and high-impact. The uppercase set feels geometric and squared-off (notably in O/Q and C/G), while the lowercase retains the same angled logic with simplified bowls and short, sturdy terminals. Numerals follow the same cut-corner treatment, with squared shapes and diagonally clipped ends that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display settings where a bold, angular voice is desired—headline typography, posters, sports or esports identities, and gaming/tech interface accents. It can also work for compact marks or wordmarks where the faceted geometry becomes a distinctive brand cue, while longer text will benefit from larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is fast, mechanical, and performance-driven, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial signage. Its sharp facets and forward slant communicate motion and urgency, giving headlines a confident, hard-edged energy.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, machine-cut aesthetic, prioritizing speed, impact, and a cohesive angular language across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Diagonal cuts appear repeatedly at outer corners and terminals, creating a consistent “machined” rhythm across letters and figures. The italic angle is strong enough to read as dynamic without collapsing counters, and the dense, dark texture makes it most effective when given breathing room in layout.
