Sans Faceted Anwo 1 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Plasma' by Corradine Fonts, 'Rigid Square' by Dharma Type, 'Midsole' by Grype, 'Foundry Gridnik' by The Foundry, and 'Gunar' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners. Curves are largely replaced by planar facets and chamfered joins, producing octagonal bowls and notched terminals that read crisply at large sizes. The uppercase has a sturdy, poster-like footprint with broad horizontals, while the lowercase stays equally blocky with compact apertures and squared shoulders. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular/octagonal, giving the overall texture a dense, high-impact rhythm, especially in words and headings.
Best suited for bold headlines, logos, and short phrases where its angular silhouettes can dominate the page. It works well in sports and team branding, gaming/tech UI accents, packaging, and signage that benefits from a tough, engineered look. For longer text, it is most effective in larger sizes with generous spacing to offset the tight counters.
The faceted construction and hard corners create a mechanical, no-nonsense tone that feels engineered and assertive. It evokes sports numbering, industrial labeling, and retro-digital interfaces where sharp geometry signals strength and precision.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of cut metal, sports jerseys, or machine-milled lettering into a cohesive alphabet, using faceted geometry to deliver strong, unmistakable forms. Its consistent chamfers and squared bowls suggest a focus on punchy display typography with an industrial/athletic edge.
Diagonal strokes are simplified and often terminate in angled cuts, which helps maintain a consistent stencil-like geometry without actual breaks. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, with squared-off curves and strong silhouettes that prioritize impact over delicacy.
