Sans Faceted Ethu 3 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bunken Tech Sans' by Buntype; 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design; 'Olney' by Philatype; 'Metral' by The Northern Block; and 'Alfaqix Algorithm', 'Alfaqix Diode', and 'Alfaqix Ellipsoid' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from compact, angular forms with chamfered corners and planar facets that substitute for curves. Strokes are consistently heavy and low-contrast, with a forward slant that gives the shapes a dynamic, accelerated rhythm. Counters tend toward squared/rounded-rectangle geometry (notably in O, o, 0, and 8), while terminals frequently end in clipped, diagonal cuts. Overall spacing reads slightly tight and efficient, and the forms stay clean and coherent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its angular personality can carry a message: headlines, event and poster typography, logotypes, product marks, and sporty/technical packaging. It can also work for short UI labels in games or interfaces where a futuristic, performance-led voice is desired, but it is likely most effective at larger sizes rather than long-form reading.
The faceted construction and slanted stance convey a fast, engineered tone that feels at home in sci‑fi, motorsport, and tech branding. Its sharp edges and compact silhouettes suggest precision and performance, with a hint of arcade/retro-future energy rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, high-impact sans voice by replacing roundness with crisp facets and reinforcing motion through an italic slant. The consistent chamfering and squared counters suggest an effort to keep letterforms highly regular and mechanically themed while remaining legible in punchy, brand-forward applications.
Many glyphs emphasize straight segments and corner breaks, producing a distinctive “machined” texture in words. The numerals echo the same clipped geometry and are visually assertive, especially 2, 3, and 5 with their stepped angles.
