Sans Faceted Buti 7 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Francker' and 'Francker Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Certo Sans' by Monotype, 'Core Sans NR' by S-Core, and 'Gunar' and 'Juhl' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets throughout. The forms are wide and tightly constructed, with squared-off terminals, small counters, and a consistent, monoline feel. Diagonals are crisp and prominent (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y), while rounded letters like O, C, and G appear as octagonal silhouettes. Lowercase follows the same faceted logic, with sturdy, squared bowls and a compact, utilitarian rhythm in text.
Best suited for display applications where bold, angular shapes can carry the message—posters, headlines, titles, and branding. It also fits sports and esports identities, product packaging, and interface labels that benefit from a robust, industrial voice. At smaller sizes, the tight counters suggest using it for short strings and emphasis rather than long passages.
The overall tone is forceful and mechanical, with a sporty, game-like edge that reads as rugged and no-nonsense. Its faceted geometry suggests engineered surfaces and signage aesthetics, lending an energetic, slightly retro-digital character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through faceted construction and wide, blocky proportions, evoking cut-metal geometry and octagonal “stop-sign” curves. It prioritizes bold presence and a distinctive angular texture over softness or calligraphic nuance.
The face maintains strong visual consistency by using repeated corner cuts and straight joins across both cases and numerals, producing a cohesive “milled” look. The dense interiors and blunt terminals create high impact, especially in all-caps settings and short bursts of text.
