Sans Faceted Orly 4 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Military Jr34' by Casloop Studio, 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, 'Revx Neue' and 'Revx Neue Rounded' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A monolinear sans with sharply chamfered joins and faceted, octagonal curve substitutions throughout. Strokes maintain even thickness and end in clean, flat terminals, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Counters tend toward squared or clipped-oval shapes, with generous apertures that keep forms open and legible. Uppercase proportions read compact and structured, while the lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simplified bowls and restrained curves, creating a consistent, modular texture across lines.
Well-suited to UI labeling, dashboards, and technical documentation where a crisp, engineered voice is helpful. It also performs strongly in signage and wayfinding, and can bring an industrial edge to packaging or editorial headlines. For longer passages, it will read best with comfortable tracking to balance the lively cornering pattern.
The overall tone feels mechanical and purpose-built, like lettering optimized for equipment, labeling, or interfaces. Its angular facets add a subtle retro-digital flavor while staying sober and workmanlike rather than decorative. The result is confident and no-nonsense, with a precise, technical presence.
The design appears intended to translate round forms into planar facets while keeping stroke weight consistent, aiming for a compact, highly legible sans that feels manufactured and systematized. Its geometry suggests a focus on clarity and reproducibility across sizes, with an aesthetic nod to technical marking and digital-era lettering.
The numerals echo the same chamfered geometry, yielding strong, sign-like figures with clear silhouettes. Diagonals (as in A, K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and disciplined, reinforcing a constructed, drafted feel. At text sizes the repeated clipped corners create a distinctive sparkle without relying on contrast or flaring.
