Sans Faceted Bugu 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gltp Starion' by Glowtype, 'EFCO Growers' by Ilham Herry, 'Akko' by Linotype, 'Aeroko' and 'Biome' by Monotype, and 'Norpeth' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharp chamfers and planar cut corners that replace most curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing solid, compact silhouettes and strong color on the page. Counters are small and often squarish or octagonal, while terminals end in crisp, beveled edges that create a faceted rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing feels sturdy and slightly tight, with wide, stable bases and a generally squared-off geometry.
Best suited to large sizes where its faceted construction and tight counters remain clear—headlines, posters, team or sports branding, badges, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also work well for packaging callouts, labels, and short UI or wayfinding phrases where a strong, rugged display voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking sports signage, industrial labels, and vintage display lettering. Its angular facets add a rugged, engineered character that reads as confident and energetic, with a hint of retro scoreboard attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a durable, geometric look, using beveled corners to add character while keeping the letterforms simple and highly uniform. It prioritizes punchy display presence and a cohesive, industrial-sport aesthetic over delicate detail.
Distinctive corner cuts are applied broadly, giving the alphabet a consistent “machined” texture and making round letters (like O/C/G) feel more polygonal than circular. The lowercase follows the same blocky construction, helping mixed-case settings maintain a unified, poster-like presence.
