Sans Faceted Vafa 11 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Murs Gothic' by Kobuzan, 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, and 'Nu Sans' by Typecalism Foundryline (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces round curves with planar cuts and clipped corners. Counters tend toward octagonal shapes, and terminals are square and blunt, creating a crisp, machined silhouette. The rhythm is compact and sturdy with wide-set forms and strong horizontals; diagonals are straight and decisively cut, giving letters a carved, geometric feel. The lowercase echoes the same angular logic, staying robust and simplified for impact rather than delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, logos, team marks, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for event or venue-style signage where a rugged, cut-metal aesthetic is desirable, but its dense, angular forms are generally more effective at display sizes than in extended text.
The font projects a tough, engineered tone—part industrial signage, part retro arcade/sports vernacular. Its chiseled geometry reads assertive and energetic, with a slightly futuristic edge driven by the faceted cuts and hard corners.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through geometric, faceted letterforms that feel cut, stamped, or machined. By emphasizing clipped corners and polygonal counters, it aims to evoke durability and speed while staying cleanly sans and highly graphic.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (C/G/O/Q) and bowls (B/P/R), which helps keep the texture cohesive even at large sizes. Numerals follow the same clipped, polygonal approach, reinforcing the set’s uniform, display-first character.
