Sans Faceted Eljy 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bourgeois' by Barnbrook Fonts, 'Grillmaster' by FontMesa, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, and 'Kilburn' by Talbot Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans with a consistent rightward slant and a strongly faceted construction. Curves are largely replaced by clipped corners and planar cuts, producing octagonal counters and sharp terminals throughout. Strokes stay uniform in thickness, with tight apertures and compact bowls that emphasize a dense, vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, chamfered geometry, while the lowercase keeps sturdy, simplified forms with short extenders and a straightforward, sturdy texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, and bold packaging. It can also work well on uniforms, merchandise, and signage where a compact width and strong silhouette help text stay punchy and space-efficient.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an energetic, competitive feel. Its angled stance and hard-edged facets suggest strength, speed, and a utilitarian modernism that also nods to vintage athletic and workwear lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using chamfered geometry and an oblique stance to create a fast, tough, display-driven voice. The simplified, uniform strokes prioritize punchy silhouettes and consistent texture over delicate detail.
The faceting creates a distinctive pixel-meets-stencil impression without breaking strokes, and the tight internal spaces make the color on the page quite dark. The oblique angle is noticeable even in straight-sided letters, helping headlines feel forward-leaning and urgent.
