Sans Faceted Asfu 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Masheen' by Ingrimayne Type, 'Organetto' by Latinotype, 'Hemispheres' by Runsell Type, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from hard-edged, chamfered geometry. Curves are largely replaced by flattened planes and clipped corners, producing faceted counters in round letters like O and C and notched joins in letters such as S and G. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, and the overall construction feels tightly engineered, with squared terminals, compact apertures, and strong verticals. The lowercase follows the same rugged logic, with sturdy stems and simplified bowls that keep the texture dense and consistent across lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, team or club identities, and bold brand marks. It can also work well on labels and packaging where a tough, engineered feel is desired, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceting and notches stay clear.
The faceted, cut-metal silhouette projects strength and utility, with a sporty, no-nonsense attitude. Its rhythm and blunt finishing read as confident and slightly retro, evoking uniforms, equipment markings, and rugged branding rather than refined editorial typography.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through a sturdy, faceted construction that suggests carved or machined forms. By reducing curvature into clipped planes and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for a strong, reproducible silhouette that reads quickly and holds up in bold display applications.
The uppercase set is particularly dominant and uniform in height, while the lowercase and numerals retain the same clipped-corner DNA for cohesive lockups. The design’s tight apertures and dense color make it most effective when given breathing room in layout and tracking.
