Sans Faceted Affi 1 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Canby JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Enamela' by K-Type, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy, faceted sans with straight strokes and clipped corners that replace curves with crisp chamfers. The forms are built from rectangular and octagonal geometry, with squared counters and sharply notched joins that give letters like C, O, and S a planar, cut-metal look. Strokes stay consistent in thickness, terminals are flat and abrupt, and the condensed proportions create a tight rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same angular construction, reading like stenciled blocks with beveled corners.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and bold labels where the faceted construction can read as a deliberate stylistic cue. It also works well for signage-like treatments and packaging callouts that benefit from a compact, forceful texture.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sports-jersey and industrial signage energy. Its angular facets and dense color feel engineered and no-nonsense, projecting strength and urgency rather than softness or elegance.
This design appears intended to translate condensed, heavy lettering into a consistently faceted system, using chamfered corners to suggest durability and machining while preserving legibility in simple geometric shapes.
The face relies on distinctive corner cuts to maintain clarity in rounded characters, producing a recognizable octagonal silhouette at display sizes. The lowercase echoes the uppercase’s geometry, keeping a uniform, constructed texture across mixed-case settings.
