Sans Faceted Kobe 11 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Lustra Text' and 'Midsole' by Grype, 'Government Issue JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and short facets. Counters tend toward squarish/octagonal shapes (notably in O, C, G, and 0), and terminals are consistently cut at angles for a mechanical, hard-edged rhythm. Proportions are broad with generous interior space for the weight, and the overall texture is dense but controlled, with clean joins and a consistent planar logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its angular silhouettes can be appreciated: headlines, logos/wordmarks, posters, packaging, and wayfinding or labeling that benefits from a rigid, technical aesthetic. It will also work well for short UI titles or game/interface graphics where a futuristic, machined texture is desirable.
The faceted construction and squared-off curves give the type a technical, engineered tone that reads modern and purposeful. It evokes hardware labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and competitive/sport branding where a tough, no-nonsense voice is desired.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, chamfered system that feels fabricated rather than drawn. By standardizing angled terminals and polygonal bowls, it prioritizes impact and a strong visual identity over neutral, text-first softness.
The caps feel particularly architectural, with strong symmetry in round letters and squared shoulders in E/F/T. Lowercase forms echo the same chamfer language, keeping a unified system rather than a softened text cut; figures are similarly blocky and display-forward, with the 0 especially octagonal.
