Sans Faceted Elhy 7 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, 'TX Manifesto' by Typebox, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly faceted construction. Curves are largely replaced by planar cuts and chamfered corners, producing polygonal bowls and counters and a crisp, mechanical edge. Strokes maintain an even thickness with tight apertures and compact spacing, while uppercase forms read tall and compact. The lowercase follows the same angular logic, with simple, sturdy joins and squared terminals that emphasize a hard, engineered rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short display lines where a condensed, high-impact presence is desirable—such as sports and esports identities, event posters, team or equipment graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It also fits UI labels or badges where an assertive, technical tone is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and performance-oriented, with a fast, forward-leaning stance. Its sharp facets and dense silhouettes evoke machinery, competition, and tactical labeling rather than softness or casual friendliness. The voice is modern and utilitarian, aimed at impact and speed.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed and toughness. By swapping curves for sharp facets and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for a rugged, engineered aesthetic that stays coherent across letters and numbers.
The numeral set matches the angular, cut-corner motif and stays highly uniform in weight, which helps maintain consistency in compact layouts. In running text the strong slant and tight counters create a distinctive texture that favors short bursts over long, small-size reading.
