Sans Faceted Eldi 7 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kensmark' by BoxTube Labs, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, hard-edged display sans built from planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with clipped corners, creating octagonal counters and a machined, cut-metal look. The design carries a forward-leaning slant with compact proportions and tight interior spaces, while maintaining clear, straight-sided geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Works best for short, prominent copy where impact matters: posters, headlines, team or event branding, and logo wordmarks. It also suits packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics that benefit from a bold, faceted texture. For longer passages, it’s more effective as a display accent than as primary text.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a rugged, engineered character that reads as sporty and high-impact. Its sharp facets and forward motion suggest speed, toughness, and an industrial, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional block-letter foundation into a faceted, beveled aesthetic, emphasizing strength and motion. By replacing curves with chamfers and maintaining consistent stroke mass, it aims for a cohesive, stamp-like presence that remains visually stable across letters and numerals.
Counters tend to be small and polygonal, which boosts punch at larger sizes but can tighten legibility as text gets smaller. Numerals follow the same chamfered construction, keeping a consistent, emblem-like texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
