Sans Faceted Asho 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Aspire Narrow' and 'Tradesman' by Grype, and 'Grimpt' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans with corners clipped into consistent planar facets, replacing curves with straight segments and chamfered joins. Strokes are uniform and dense, with squared terminals and frequent octagonal silhouettes in rounded forms like O, C, and G. Counters are relatively small and geometric, and the lowercase shares much of the uppercase’s structure, producing a strong, technical rhythm with minimal calligraphic modulation. Figures follow the same faceted logic, reading sturdy and sign-like, with squared apertures and simplified interior shapes.
This design is well suited to headlines, display typography, and branding where a hard-edged, engineered impression is desired. It can work effectively on posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style applications, as well as for esports or sports identity systems where impact and solidity are priorities.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, evoking engineered surfaces, stenciled equipment markings, and game UI aesthetics. Its sharp geometry and compact spacing feel assertive and energetic, lending a confident, no-nonsense voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact through a faceted, planar construction that reads as both geometric and rugged. By standardizing chamfers and simplifying curves into straight edges, it aims for a distinctive, industrial display voice that remains highly legible in bold, high-contrast contexts.
The faceting is applied consistently across the set, creating a coherent texture in both headlines and short passages. The sample text shows strong word-shape stability at large sizes, while the tight counters and blunt joins suggest it will look best with ample size or generous tracking when used in longer lines.
