Sans Faceted Dosa 6 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bega' by Indian Type Foundry; 'Francker', 'Francker Paneuropean', and 'Quitador Sans' by Linotype; and 'Core Sans NR' by S-Core (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-based sans with sharply chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick with crisp right-angle joins, producing compact apertures and squared-off counters in letters like O, D, and P. The uppercase is broad and steady, while the lowercase simplifies into sturdy, mostly one-storey, modular forms with short extenders and minimal curvature. Numerals follow the same octagonal, cut-corner construction, keeping silhouettes bold and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, sports and team-style branding, event posters, and high-impact packaging where strong silhouettes matter. It can also work for gaming/arcade interfaces or labels and signage that benefit from a rugged, technical voice, while extended text is most comfortable at larger sizes due to the dense, blocky texture.
The faceted construction and uniform massing give the face an assertive, engineered tone—equal parts athletic and industrial. It reads with a retro-digital energy reminiscent of scoreboard, arcade, or equipment markings, projecting strength and clarity rather than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate the visual language of cut metal and octagonal sign forms into a contemporary display sans, maximizing punch and recognizability. By minimizing curves and standardizing corner facets, it aims for consistent, easily reproducible letterforms that hold up in loud, high-contrast applications.
The rhythm is driven by repeated straight segments and consistent corner cuts, which creates a tight, mechanical texture in paragraphs. Punctuation and small details (like dots and internal notches) are rendered as hard-edged shapes, reinforcing the geometric, stencil-like feel without introducing decorative flourishes.
