Sans Faceted Ufse 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Cord Nuvo' by Designova, 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'ITC Machine' by ITC, 'Sharka' by PeGGO Fonts, 'Robson' by TypeUnion, and 'Aeroscope' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display sans built from planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with crisp corners, clipped terminals, and squared counters that create a carved, chiseled silhouette. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with tight internal apertures and a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel from the repeated bevel-like notches on curves and joins. Numerals and capitals maintain the same blocky geometry, producing a strong, poster-oriented texture in lines of text.
Best suited to bold display work such as posters, event or gig flyers, brand marks, labels, and storefront-style signage where its faceted construction can be appreciated. It also fits sports graphics and apparel lettering, and can be effective for short editorial headers or pull quotes when used with ample spacing.
The letterforms evoke a tough, utilitarian mood—part industrial stencil and part old-school wood type. Its sharp facets and compact stance convey toughness and urgency, with a retro headline flavor reminiscent of athletic, saloon, or workshop signage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while replacing curves with hard-edged facets for a carved, constructed look. It prioritizes a distinctive headline voice and consistent geometric texture over small-size readability.
At text sizes the narrow apertures and dense shapes can fill in visually, so the design reads best when given room to breathe (larger sizes, shorter lines, or generous tracking). The faceted treatment is consistent across rounds (O/C/G/Q) and diagonals (K/R/X), helping headlines feel cohesive even with mixed case and numerals.
