Sans Faceted Eldi 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A very heavy, forward-slanted sans with sharply faceted construction throughout. Curves are largely replaced by planar cuts and clipped corners, producing octagonal bowls and squared counters with consistent, mechanical geometry. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, and joins tend to be abrupt, emphasizing a hard-edged silhouette. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps a similar muscular texture with simplified, angular terminals and a utilitarian rhythm.
Best suited to display contexts such as sports identity systems, event posters, esports or fitness graphics, and bold packaging where impact matters more than subtlety. It performs well in short bursts—titles, badges, labels, and merch—where the faceted geometry can be appreciated at larger sizes and high contrast.
The overall tone is forceful and competitive, with a rugged, engineered feel that reads as sporty and industrial. Its faceted edges and strong slant add speed and urgency, giving headlines a punchy, high-impact voice. The aesthetic also nods to retro athletic and action-oriented graphics where sharp geometry signals toughness and momentum.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through angular, cut-stone geometry and a dynamic slant, translating the energy of athletic and industrial aesthetics into a cohesive display alphabet. The consistent faceting and sturdy proportions suggest a focus on strong silhouettes and quick recognition in branding and promotional typography.
The wide, flattened facets create distinctive interior shapes (notably in rounded letters and numerals), which helps branding stand out but can reduce comfort for long reading. The italics-like angle is pronounced enough to suggest motion, and spacing appears designed for tight, dense display settings where shapes interlock cleanly.
