Sans Faceted Anto 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Protrakt Variable' by Arkitype, 'Bike Tag JNL' and 'Celluloid JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Evanston Alehouse' and 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with straight facets. Strokes are consistently thick and squared-off, with tight, angular counters and a pronounced, rectilinear construction throughout. The forms sit firmly on the baseline with a tall lowercase presence, producing dense, compact word shapes and strong horizontal rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same cut-corner logic, giving the set a uniform, engineered feel and clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where bold geometry is an asset: sports identities, event posters, product packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It performs well for short headlines, badges, and UI/game-style titling where quick recognition and strong presence matter.
The sharp, machined geometry conveys a tough, no-nonsense tone that reads as sporty and utilitarian. Its faceted corners and blocky mass also nod to retro-digital and arcade aesthetics, delivering an energetic, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a consistent faceted construction, translating traditional sans forms into a cut-metal, stencil-adjacent geometry. It prioritizes bold readability and a distinctive angular voice for branding and display typography.
Diagonal joins are handled with decisive straight cuts, creating an octagonal feel in rounded letters and a distinctive notched look in several terminals. The overall texture is dark and steady, favoring punch and legibility over delicacy, especially in headlines and short strings.
