Sans Faceted Ufde 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evanston Alehouse', 'Evanston Tavern', and 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp planar cuts. Strokes are monoline and tightly proportioned, producing a dense texture with strong vertical emphasis and relatively narrow counters. Terminals are square and blunt, and many rounded forms (C, G, O, S) are built from straight segments, giving the face a consistent, machined rhythm. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey construction with short extenders and sturdy joins, while numerals follow the same faceted geometry for a uniform, sign-like presence.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and solidity matter: posters, headlines, team or event branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a rugged, industrial tone is desired, especially with generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and tough, with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its angular construction and compressed mass evoke athletic lettering, industrial labeling, and a slightly retro display sensibility without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, using faceted geometry to give traditionally curved letters a hard-edged, engineered character. It prioritizes consistent silhouette strength and quick recognition in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
Spacing appears intentionally tight for impact, and the faceting introduces distinctive highlights at corners that read clearly at larger sizes. The compact counters and heavy weight suggest careful use at small sizes or in long passages, where the dense color may reduce legibility.
