Sans Faceted Asho 16 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Adversary BB' by Blambot, 'Korolev' by Device, 'Bystone' by GraphTypika, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'PT Filter' by Paavola Type Studio, 'Hemispheres' by Runsell Type, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and sharp, chamfered corners, with curves largely replaced by planar facets. Stems are thick and uniform, terminals are flat, and counters tend toward squared or octagonal shapes (notably in O, Q, 0, and 8). The lowercase echoes the same angular construction with simplified, sturdy forms and minimal modulation, producing a compact, punchy texture. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, reading clearly with broad geometry and tight internal spaces at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and bold signage where the angular facets can be appreciated. It also works well for logo wordmarks and badges that benefit from a rugged, engineered silhouette.
The faceted geometry and dense weight give the face a tough, no-nonsense tone that feels industrial and sporty at once. Its crisp cuts and squared counters evoke uniform lettering and bold signage, lending an energetic, competitive, slightly retro flavor.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-corner aesthetic into a forceful display voice—maximizing presence with thick strokes while maintaining a consistent faceted construction across the character set.
The rhythm is driven by repeated chamfers and straight-sided bowls, creating a consistent, machined look across letters and figures. Short apertures and tight counters increase impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, where the angular details may visually merge.
