Sans Faceted Mize 3 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'AG Book W1G' by Berthold, 'Folio' by Bitstream, 'CF Blast Gothic' by Fonts.GR, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and sharply faceted joins that replace smooth curves with planar cuts. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong, rectangular silhouettes. Corners and terminals tend to be blunt and clipped, giving round letters like C, G, and O a chiseled, segmented feel. The lowercase follows the same rigid geometry with sturdy stems and tight apertures, maintaining an even, compressed rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for display work such as bold headlines, posters, short slogans, and high-impact branding. It also fits labels, packaging, and wayfinding or signage where a compact footprint and strong lettershapes help maintain presence in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a mechanical, industrial edge. Its faceted construction reads as tough and utilitarian, suggesting impact, urgency, and confident display messaging rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a condensed form while adding a distinctive faceted texture to otherwise straightforward sans forms. The emphasis is on punchy silhouettes, consistent rhythm, and a hard, engineered personality that stands out in large sizes.
In running text the tight widths and heavy color create strong headline presence, while the narrow openings and dense interiors can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals appear especially suited to emphatic, sign-like settings where bold silhouette recognition is the priority.
