Sans Faceted Ufda 12 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Chamelton' by Alex Khoroshok, 'Outlast' by BoxTube Labs, 'Gainsborough' by Fenotype, 'Flintstock' by Hustle Supply Co, 'Conifer' by Ryan Keightley, and 'URW Dock Condensed' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built display sans with sharply faceted contours and clipped corners that replace most curves with straight segments. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact counters (notably in O, P, R, and 8) and squared interior spaces that read like cut-outs. The overall rhythm is sturdy and slightly mechanical, with crisp joins, flattened terminals, and a consistent octagonal/planar construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, badges, team or athletic graphics, and bold packaging callouts where the faceted silhouettes can read quickly. It also works well for logo wordmarks and labels that benefit from a tough, engineered feel, while extended body text will look dense and attention-grabbing.
The faceted geometry and dense weight give the type a rugged, utilitarian voice that feels industrial and competitive. Its sharp cuts and compact forms suggest impact and firmness rather than softness, evoking sports numbering, workwear branding, and bold headline energy with a slightly retro flavor.
The design appears intended to translate an angular, cut-metal or carved-block aesthetic into a consistent alphabet, emphasizing bold silhouettes and crisp planar edges. It prioritizes instant visual strength and a distinctive, geometric identity over nuance or delicate detail.
The lowercase largely mirrors the uppercase’s angular logic, helping maintain a uniform texture in mixed-case settings. Numerals are particularly punchy and sign-like, with strong silhouettes and minimal interior openings that prioritize presence over delicacy at smaller sizes.
