Sans Faceted Hema 1 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Coign' by Colophon Foundry, 'CCS Wakatobi' by Creative Corner Studio, and 'Baucher Gothic' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed display sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, replacing most curves with planar facets. Stems are uniform in weight and the letterforms are tall and compact, producing a strong vertical rhythm. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, with angular joins and clipped terminals that keep forms crisp and mechanical. The overall texture is dense and dark, yet consistently constructed across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for high-impact headlines, poster typography, and branding where a condensed, angular silhouette helps fit long words into tight spaces. It also works well for signage, packaging, and interface labels that benefit from a rigid, technical aesthetic.
The font projects a machine-made, architectural tone with a clear Art Deco and industrial poster sensibility. Its sharp geometry and compressed proportions feel authoritative and technical, leaning toward retro-futurist and sci‑fi atmospheres rather than casual neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width while maintaining a consistent, engineered construction. By favoring chamfered geometry over curves, it aims to evoke a streamlined, industrial display style with strong legibility at larger sizes.
Lowercase maintains a similarly tall, compact structure, closely echoing the caps to create a uniform, signage-like voice. Numerals follow the same faceted logic and read as sturdy, utilitarian figures, well suited to short set text where impact matters more than airy readability.
