Sans Faceted Elda 7 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Authority' by RetroSupply Co., 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface uses tightly packed, heavy strokes with a pronounced forward slant and a compact footprint. Curves are largely replaced by clipped corners and planar facets, producing octagonal counters and sharp terminals throughout. The geometry feels constructed and mechanical, with straight-sided bowls and squared-off joins that keep the silhouette crisp at display sizes. Lowercase forms are sturdy and blocky, with a relatively high x-height impression and minimal contrast, reinforcing a dense, punchy texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports and esports identities, event posters, promotional headlines, packaging callouts, and bold wordmarks. It can work for subheads or short bursts of copy where a dense, energized texture is desirable, but its weight and angular detailing are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-driven—more like racing graphics or athletic branding than a neutral text face. Its faceted cuts and steep slant suggest speed and impact, while the dark color and tight proportions add a tough, utilitarian edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and motion through a compressed, slanted structure and a consistently faceted construction. By substituting curves with clipped planes and keeping stroke weight uniform, it aims for a rugged, contemporary display voice that reads as fast and engineered.
The faceting is consistently applied across rounds (C/G/O/Q, 0/8/9) and diagonals (K/V/W/X/Y), giving the set a cohesive, engineered look. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry and read as sturdy, scoreboard-like figures in larger sizes.
