Sans Faceted Ande 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bio Sans' and 'Bio Sans Soft' by Dharma Type, 'Panton' and 'Panton Rust' by Fontfabric, 'Frygia' by Stawix, and 'Nudista' by Suitcase Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with short straight facets. Strokes are consistently thick and the joins are hard-edged, producing octagonal counters in rounded letters like O, C, G, and Q. The overall proportions are compact with broad, stable horizontals and squared terminals; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are straight and weighty. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase geometry with simplified, angular bowls and a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm; numerals are similarly faceted and wide-footed for impact at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong silhouette and immediate punch matter more than fine-text economy. It works well for sports identities, team or event graphics, product packaging, and bold signage-style applications where the faceted forms can read as intentional and iconic.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a sporty, equipment-label energy. Its faceted construction suggests toughness and engineered precision, reading as confident and slightly retro in the way it references varsity and industrial signage aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, planar geometry—translating traditionally curved shapes into consistent chamfers for a unified, industrial feel. It prioritizes a strong word shape and durable presence, aiming for high visibility and a distinctive, cut-metal look.
The angular corner cuts create a distinctive, uniform “machined” texture across words, especially in sequences with many round letters. Apertures are generally tight, and the heavy strokes can cause interior spaces to close up at smaller sizes, reinforcing its display-forward personality.
