Sans Faceted Afgu 7 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Danger Neue' by Green Type, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Rotundus' and 'Rotundus Rounded' by dayflash (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar chamfers and octagonal counters. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared terminals and consistent facet angles across rounds like C, O, and S. The lowercase follows the same rigid construction, with compact bowls and short joins that keep texture tight; punctuation and numerals match the angular, cut-off motif. Overall rhythm is dense and vertical, emphasizing narrow proportions and a sturdy, machined silhouette.
Best suited to display roles where impact and compactness matter—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short-form signage. Its dense vertical rhythm can also work for badges, labels, and UI headers where an industrial tone is desired, while longer text is likely to feel heavy due to the tight, blocky forms.
The faceted geometry gives the font a tough, engineered voice that feels modern and functional. Its hard corners and tight spacing read as confident and no-nonsense, with a subtle sports/industrial energy reminiscent of stenciled or equipment labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, space-efficient sans with a consistent faceted construction, turning round letters into crisp polygonal shapes for a more technical, fabricated look. It prioritizes bold presence and stylistic coherence across letters and numbers over soft readability cues.
Distinctive shapes include angular, nearly octagonal O/0 forms, a single-storey a, and a squared, compact g; the Q shows an internal tail detail that reinforces the mechanical theme. The numerals are similarly condensed and robust, with strong straight-sided construction that maintains consistency in mixed alphanumeric settings.
