Sans Faceted Anwu 1 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Rigid Square' by Dharma Type, 'Midsole' by Grype, 'Celdum' and 'Metral' by The Northern Block, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted curves that read as octagonal rather than round. Strokes are monoline and dense, with tight interior counters and broad, stable horizontals that create a compact, high-impact texture. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, with consistent diagonal cut-ins on rounded letters and numerals that reinforce a geometric, engineered feel. Uppercase forms are sturdy and uniform, while lowercase maintains the same faceted logic with simplified bowls and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display applications where strong silhouettes and high visual impact are needed—headlines, posters, team or esports branding, product packaging, and bold UI labels. It can also work for short subheads and signage where an engineered, hard-edged voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, sports numerals, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its faceting gives a machined, technical character that feels disciplined and tough rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, faceted construction into a highly legible, high-impact sans—replacing curves with planar cuts to achieve a rugged, technical look while keeping letterforms straightforward and consistent.
The font’s rhythm is driven by repeated corner cuts and flattened arcs, producing a distinctive silhouette in words and strong legibility at display sizes. Numerals follow the same angular construction, with the zero rendered as an octagonal form and other figures built from straight segments and chamfers.
