Sans Faceted Anni 1 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kensmark' by BoxTube Labs; 'Evanston Alehouse', 'Evanston Tavern', and 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design; and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace most curves with flat facets. Strokes are consistently thick and squared-off, producing compact internal counters and a strong, engineered silhouette. The lowercase follows the same angular construction, with a single-storey a and g and short, squared terminals that keep texture dense and even in words. Numerals and capitals share an octagonal, stencil-like geometry that reads clearly at display sizes and holds up well in tight spacing.
Best suited to bold headlines, team or athletic branding, event posters, and punchy packaging where impact and immediacy matter. It also fits game interfaces, sci-fi dashboards, and wayfinding or labeling systems that benefit from angular, high-presence letterforms. For longer text, larger sizes and slightly increased spacing help maintain clarity.
The faceted construction and hard corners project a tough, utilitarian tone—part sports scoreboard, part industrial labeling. Its rhythm feels assertive and mechanical, with a slightly retro-digital edge that suggests equipment markings and game UI typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a cohesive faceted geometry, offering a distinctive alternative to rounded grotesks. Its goal is clear recognition and a rugged, technical feel through repeated chamfers and compact counters.
Diagonal cuts recur across bowls, joints, and outer corners, creating a consistent “machined” motif throughout the set. Openings and apertures are kept narrow, so the face performs best when given enough size or tracking to prevent counters from filling in.
