Sans Faceted Raho 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Whitney' by Hoefler & Co., 'Werk' by Wilton Foundry, and 'Alber New' by moretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans with chiseled, faceted edges that turn curves into short planar segments. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but their outlines wobble slightly, creating a hand-cut, uneven rhythm. Corners are sharply notched and terminals often look sliced at varied angles, giving letters a compact, blocky silhouette with subtly inconsistent sidebearings. Counters are small and sometimes polygonal, and the numerals share the same cut-paper geometry and sturdy, poster-like presence.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are assets: posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It works especially well when set large with generous spacing, where the faceted cuts and chunky silhouettes can be appreciated without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone feels playful and homemade, with a rugged, craft-driven personality rather than a polished geometric precision. Its sharp facets and irregular cuts add a mischievous, slightly spooky energy that reads well for fun, informal messaging. The bold mass and chunky shapes make it feel assertive and attention-seeking without becoming overtly aggressive.
The design appears intended to mimic carved or cut shapes—turning smooth letterforms into bold polygonal forms for a tactile, handcrafted effect. It prioritizes impact and character over neutrality, aiming to add graphic energy and a distinctive voice to short-form typography.
In text, the irregular contouring adds texture and a lively baseline color, but the strong personality can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The faceting is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping headlines and short phrases feel cohesive and intentional.
