Sans Faceted Aska 8 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Gainsborough' by Fenotype, 'Hemispheres' by Runsell Type, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy all-caps-driven sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with flat planes. Strokes are consistently thick and geometric, with squared terminals and frequent 45° cuts that create an octagonal, machined silhouette across letters and figures. Counters are tight and rectangular, and joins stay rigid and planar, producing a dense texture with strong vertical emphasis and crisp edges.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and branding that needs immediate impact, especially in sports contexts (jerseys, fan merch, event graphics) and rugged product packaging. It also works well for labels, badges, and title cards where a compact, industrial look is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking scoreboard lettering, team uniforms, and industrial labeling. Its hard facets and compressed stance feel disciplined and no-nonsense, with a retro American sports and military-signage undertone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive faceted geometry. By standardizing corners into crisp chamfers and keeping strokes robust, it aims for high-contrast presence and a recognizable, uniform-like voice.
Uppercase forms dominate with strong, blocky presence, while the lowercase follows the same angular construction for a unified voice. Numerals are similarly faceted and sturdy, reading like cut metal or painted stencils at display sizes. The tight apertures and heavy mass can darken quickly in long lines, favoring shorter settings where impact matters.
