Sans Faceted Afti 8 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Brave Brigade' by Invasi Studio, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Radley' by Variatype, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp facets that create an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and counters are squared-off and relatively tight, giving the letterforms a compact, punchy texture. Uppercase shapes read like sturdy blocks with clipped corners, while the lowercase maintains the same angular construction and simplified terminals, keeping the system visually uniform across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, logos, posters, and bold labeling. It can work well for signage and packaging where a rugged, high-visibility voice is desired, especially when set with generous tracking to prevent the dense shapes from crowding.
The faceted construction and dense, mechanical rhythm project a tough, utilitarian tone with hints of sports lettering and industrial labeling. Its sharp corners and modular feel also lean toward a digital/technical aesthetic, making it feel energetic and no-nonsense rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through a simple, repeatable geometry: straight strokes, clipped corners, and tight counters that hold up as strong silhouettes. It prioritizes a distinctive, constructed look that evokes cut, stamped, or fabricated lettering for modern display use.
Diagonal joins and notches are used sparingly but strategically to suggest curvature in characters like C, O, and S, reinforcing the planar, machined look. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay cohesive at display sizes.
