Sans Faceted Ufle 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Diamante EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'Diamante Serial' by SoftMaker, 'TS Diamante' by TypeShop Collection, 'Bryson' by Valentino Vergan, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavily slanted sans with sharp, planar facets that replace most curves. Strokes are thick and uniform with minimal contrast, and terminals are cut with consistent angled chamfers that create a clipped, mechanical silhouette. Counters tend toward squarish apertures (notably in O, D, and 0), while diagonals are emphasized in forms like A, V, W, and Y, reinforcing a forward-leaning rhythm. Figures and capitals share the same hard-edged geometry and compact spacing, producing dense, high-impact word shapes.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as sports identities, event posters, promotional headlines, team or esports graphics, apparel lettering, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for UI labels or badges when a compact, high-impact, engineered look is desired, but is visually intense for long-form reading.
The overall tone is forceful and fast, with a no-nonsense, high-performance feel. Its angular cuts and pronounced slant suggest motion, impact, and engineered precision, leaning toward sporty and tactical aesthetics rather than friendly or neutral text color.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in tight horizontal space while projecting speed and toughness. By using consistent chamfered facets and a strong slant, it aims to create an industrial, performance-driven voice that remains clear at display sizes.
The faceting is applied consistently across the set, giving the design a cohesive “cut metal” texture. Lowercase letters maintain the same rigid construction as the uppercase, and the numerals read as sturdy, signage-like blocks with clipped corners for quick recognition.
