Sans Faceted Befu 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'FF Good Headline' by FontFont, 'Gotham' by Hoefler & Co., 'Morandi' by Monotype, and 'Eastman Condensed' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with crisp planar cuts that turn many curves into angled facets. Strokes are consistently thick with a compact, sturdy silhouette, and corners are frequently beveled or notched rather than smoothly rounded. The lowercase keeps a large x-height and simplified forms, while round letters like o, c, e, and s read as polygonal shapes with flattened arcs. Numerals are similarly blocky and cut, with strong interior counters and distinctive chamfered edges that reinforce the hard-edged rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its chunky, faceted shapes can read as intentional styling. It fits posters, sports or action-oriented branding, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing signage, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is loud and energetic, mixing a utilitarian, industrial toughness with a retro display feel. Its sharp cuts and dense black shapes suggest speed, impact, and a slightly playful ruggedness rather than refinement.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, chiseled look, replacing conventional curves with angled planes for a distinctive display voice. The simplified, large-x-height lowercase supports bold messaging while maintaining an aggressive, cut-letterform personality.
The faceting creates active texture in lines of text, with noticeable zig-zag edges on curves and occasional wedge-like terminals that add motion. Large sizes emphasize the sculpted planes and notches, while tighter settings can amplify its busy, high-contrast-in-shape (not stroke) texture.
