Sans Faceted Ephi 2 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Military Jr34' by Casloop Studio, 'Register' by Device, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, and 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with squared proportions and broadly rounded corners, built from blunt geometric strokes and simplified counters. Curved areas are largely resolved into planar facets, giving bowls and shoulders a cut, machined look rather than smooth arcs. The letterforms show deliberate distressing: irregular chips and voids interrupt the black mass, while terminals stay mostly flat and decisive. Overall rhythm is tight and forceful, with sturdy verticals, wide horizontal bars, and a consistent, poster-oriented silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for large sizes where the chips and gaps remain legible, such as posters, bold headlines, event graphics, packaging, labels, and rugged signage. It can also work for short branding phrases or merchandise marks that benefit from a distressed, industrial presence.
The overall tone is tough and industrial, mixing a factory-stencil attitude with a worn, distressed finish. Its dense black shapes and broken texture read as gritty, street-level, and high-impact—more assertive than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with an engineered, faceted geometry, then humanize it with purposeful wear. It targets attention-grabbing display typography that communicates toughness, durability, and a hands-on, manufactured character.
The distressed cutouts are distributed throughout stems and counters, so texture becomes part of the voice rather than a subtle overlay. Rounded-square forms in characters like C, O, and 0 keep the palette cohesive, while the faceted handling of curves adds a hard-edged, constructed feel.
