Sans Faceted Asno 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design, 'Sharka' by PeGGO Fonts, 'Mind The Caps' by Shaped Fonts, 'Fixture' by Sudtipos, and 'CFB1 Captain Narrow' by The Fontry (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display sans built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are consistently thick with little internal modulation, producing dense black shapes and small counters. Curved letters (O, C, G, Q) are treated as chamfered polygons, while terminals often end in beveled, wedge-like cuts that create a chiseled silhouette. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tight interior spaces and a slightly mechanical, constructed feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It performs particularly well at larger sizes where the faceted corners and chamfered contours can be appreciated; at small sizes, the tight counters may fill in and reduce clarity.
The letterforms project a hard-edged, forceful tone—somewhere between industrial signage and stylized action branding. Its angular cuts and compact mass give it a dramatic, game-like energy that reads as assertive and high-impact rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, condensed proportions and a signature faceted construction. By replacing curves with angled planes and using beveled terminals, it aims to evoke a constructed, armored look that stands out strongly in display settings.
The lowercase largely mirrors the uppercase construction, keeping the same faceted geometry and weight, which increases uniformity but reduces softness and differentiation. Numerals follow the same blocky, beveled logic, helping maintain a consistent texture in headlines and short numeric strings.
