Sans Faceted Etfy 3 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Camber' by Emtype Foundry, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'PT Filter' by Paavola Type Studio, 'Hype vol 3' by Positype, and 'Ddt' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from hard-edged, faceted forms where curves are replaced by straight segments and clipped corners. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with a consistent rightward slant across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Counters tend toward octagonal apertures (notably in C, O, Q, and 0), and terminals are sharply cut, producing a crisp, mechanical texture. Uppercase proportions are wide and stable, while the lowercase uses similarly geometric construction with compact bowls and squared shoulders, keeping spacing tight and the word shape dense and forward-leaning.
It works best in display settings where its angular construction and forward slant can carry a bold voice—headlines, esports and sports identity systems, game titles, tech or automotive posters, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. For longer text, it is better suited to short bursts such as labels, UI headings, and promotional copy where the dense rhythm remains legible at larger sizes.
The overall tone is fast, technical, and assertive, evoking performance equipment, motorsport graphics, and sci‑fi interface labeling. The faceted geometry and steep slant create a sense of motion and impact, reading as confident and no-nonsense rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate the look of machined, faceted geometry into a sans structure, prioritizing speed and impact over softness. By standardizing clipped corners and polygonal counters across the character set, it aims to deliver a cohesive, high-energy aesthetic optimized for attention-grabbing typography.
Distinctive chamfers and angled joins give the letters a stenciled, machined feel without obvious gaps in the strokes. Diagonals are prominent (A, K, V, W, X, Y), and rounded characters maintain the same planar logic for strong stylistic cohesion. Numerals match the letterforms with polygonal bowls and sharp cuts, supporting consistent display use.
