Sans Faceted Elra 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'European Sans Pro' by Bülent Yüksel, and 'Broadside' and 'Broadside Text' by Device (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces curves with clipped planes and chamfered corners. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, producing dense silhouettes with crisp, hard edges and occasional wedge-like terminals. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with a compact, forward-leaning rhythm and slightly irregular, machined geometry that reads like cut metal rather than drawn pen strokes. Counters tend to be angular and tight, and the numerals echo the same beveled, polygonal logic for a cohesive, rugged texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where strong presence and motion are desirable: sports identities, event posters, esports/gaming graphics, product labels, and bold UI callouts. It can work in short bursts of text, but performs most confidently in headlines, logos, and punchy marketing lines where its faceting and slant can be appreciated.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, projecting speed, impact, and a no-nonsense attitude. Its faceted edges and forward slant suggest motorsport, action branding, and utilitarian hardware aesthetics, leaning more rugged than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, hard-edged sans voice by combining an oblique stance with beveled, planar cuts. It prioritizes impact and a constructed, industrial feel, creating a distinctive texture that stands apart from smoothly rounded italic sans styles.
The uppercase set feels sturdy and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps the same cut-corner vocabulary for continuity in longer lines. In paragraph-like sample text it forms a dark, high-impact color that favors display sizes, where the angular detailing remains clear and intentional.
