Sans Faceted Afpa 4 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evanston Alehouse' by Kimmy Design and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display sans with sharply faceted corners and planar cuts that replace most curves. Strokes stay consistently thick, producing dense black shapes with squared terminals and occasional chamfered notches. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and rounded letters like O/C/S are interpreted as octagonal, giving the face a rigid, engineered rhythm. The lowercase follows the same angular construction, with simplified forms and compact apertures that keep the texture uniform in text lines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong silhouette and compact width are advantages. It works well for sports graphics, gaming/arcade UI, tech or industrial packaging, and attention-grabbing labels where a hard-edged, engineered look supports the message.
The overall tone feels forceful and mechanical, with a crisp, geometric severity that suggests machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and high-impact signage. Its sharp cuts and compressed stance create a tense, energetic presence that reads as tactical and game-like rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, faceted geometric identity. By translating curves into chamfered planes and keeping stroke weight uniform, it emphasizes clarity, toughness, and a modern technical character.
The faceting is applied consistently across the set, including numerals, which echo the same octagonal/stepped geometry. The dense interior spaces and tight joins can visually fill in at small sizes, so the style favors short, bold statements over extended reading.
