Sans Faceted Buti 1 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'BR Nebula' by Brink, 'Matt' and 'Muller' by Fontfabric, 'Galvani' by Hoftype, 'Binate' by Monotype, 'Fact' by ParaType, 'Ambulatoria' by Pepper Type, and 'Gogh' by Type Forward (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with sharply faceted corners that replace most curves with clipped planes. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page. Counters tend to be tight and polygonal (notably in O/Q/0 and the bowls of B/P/R), while terminals are mostly flat with occasional angled cuts that create a rugged rhythm. The overall construction favors broad proportions and simplified geometry, with slightly irregular facet angles that add a hand-cut, sign-like character while remaining highly consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where bold, angular letterforms can carry the visual identity. It also fits sports and team graphics, product labels, and signage-style layouts that benefit from a rugged, cut-metal look.
The faceted shapes and dense massing convey an assertive, tough tone with a sporty, workwear sensibility. Its angularity reads energetic and punchy, leaning toward retro athletic branding and industrial labeling rather than refined editorial typography.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a sans framework into a faceted, chiseled aesthetic that stays legible while emphasizing strength and impact. The consistent planar cuts suggest an intention to evoke hard materials and engineered geometry for attention-grabbing display typography.
The design relies on visible corner cuts and internal notch-like shaping to differentiate forms, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes. Because counters and apertures are relatively closed, the font’s strongest impact comes when given enough size and spacing to let the polygonal details read cleanly.
