Sans Faceted Mibu 6 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'CA Uruguay' by Cape Arcona Type Foundry, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Forgotten Futurist' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with short planar facets that create an octagonal, engineered silhouette. Stems are heavy and even, with minimal contrast, and counters tend toward squared or chamfered forms, giving letters a compact, machined feel. The rhythm is steady and blocky, with clear, geometric joins and simplified terminals; rounded characters like O/C/G read as faceted polygons rather than smooth arcs. Numerals follow the same hard-edged logic with prominent corner cuts and robust, sign-friendly shapes.
It works best for headlines, posters, logos, and display settings where a tough, technical voice is desired. The sturdy, faceted construction suits sports branding, product marks, packaging callouts, wayfinding/signage, and game or interface typography where high-impact shapes and quick recognition matter.
The overall tone is utilitarian and assertive, evoking fabricated metal, machinery labeling, and competitive sports graphics. Its sharp geometry and dense presence also lend a distinctly retro-digital flavor, like classic arcade, scoreboard, or equipment-marking aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, chamfered construction into a readable sans while emphasizing a fabricated, industrial character. By standardizing corner cuts and flattening curves into facets, it aims to deliver a distinctive display texture that feels mechanical and modern without relying on ornament.
At text sizes the angular construction remains legible, but the strong corner chamfers and tight interior spaces make it feel more at home in short bursts than in long passages. The design maintains consistent facet angles across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive modular system.
