Sans Faceted Pale 1 is a light, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Refuel' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A crisp, monoline sans built from straight segments with consistently chamfered corners, replacing curves with flat, planar facets. Letterforms are generally wide with open counters and a steady, even rhythm; round shapes like O/C/G read as near-octagons, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are sharp and clean. Terminals stay squared and clipped rather than tapered, giving the outlines a constructed, modular feel across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can read clearly—logos, tech or industrial branding, packaging, posters, and large-format signage. It can also work for UI headings or labels, especially in interface themes that lean technical or futuristic, while extended body text may feel visually busy due to the persistent corner faceting.
The faceted geometry conveys a technical, engineered tone—cool, controlled, and contemporary. Its hard corners and segmented bowls suggest machinery, digital interfaces, and sci‑fi styling more than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, polygonal system, maintaining consistent stroke weight while introducing chamfers for a distinctive constructed look. The goal seems to be a modern display voice that stays legible while emphasizing precision and structure.
Lowercase blends geometric forms with simplified strokes: a and e use angular bowls, while m/n/h rely on straight stems and crisp joins. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with 0 and 8 built from segmented loops and a clearly constructed, stencil-like presence without actual breaks.
