Sans Faceted Ufde 11 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'MultiType Pixel' by Cyanotype, 'FF Softsoul' by FontFont, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Unamel' by Sensatype Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans with sharply faceted corners and planar cuts that replace round curves with octagonal-like geometry. Strokes stay visually even, producing dense, dark silhouettes with tight internal counters and squared terminals. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with narrow letterforms, short crossbars, and simplified joins that keep shapes sturdy and highly uniform across the set. Numerals and punctuation follow the same clipped, hard-edged construction for a consistent, stamp-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and brand marks where a compact, forceful texture is desirable. It can also work for signage-style text and labels, especially when you want a rigid, engineered look and efficient horizontal economy.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and no-nonsense signage. Its angular facets and heavy presence add a retro display flavor—confident, slightly aggressive, and built for impact rather than delicacy. The condensed footprint reinforces a sense of urgency and control, making the voice feel commanding and mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal width while preserving legibility through clear, simplified construction. The faceted geometry suggests an intentional move away from curves toward a machined, cut-metal aesthetic, optimized for bold display use.
The faceting is applied consistently on outer corners and at key interior notches, which helps maintain recognizable forms while minimizing curves. Because counters are compact and the color is very dense, the design reads best when given enough size or spacing to prevent letters from visually clumping in long passages.
