Sans Faceted Epba 6 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Diamante EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'Diamante Serial' by SoftMaker, 'TS Diamante' by TypeShop Collection, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-slanted display sans built from sharp planes and chamfered corners rather than smooth curves. The forms are compact and tightly set, with strong, straight stems, clipped terminals, and polygonal counters that create a crisp, cut-metal silhouette. Lowercase maintains a sturdy, workmanlike structure with a relatively even x-height and short, economical extenders, while numerals and caps echo the same faceted geometry for a highly consistent texture. The overall rhythm is dense and punchy, with minimal interior space and emphatic diagonals that keep the line moving to the right.
Well-suited to sports identity systems, event posters, game titles, and any headline-driven design needing forceful presence. It can also work for logo wordmarks and bold packaging where the angular, cut-through texture helps text stand out from a distance.
The font projects speed, toughness, and high-impact energy—more like a team jersey or action title than a quiet text face. Its hard angles and compressed, slanted stance suggest competitiveness and machinery, giving it a bold, assertive voice with a sporty, street-ready edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in short bursts, using faceted construction and a forward lean to imply motion and strength. Its consistent polygonal detailing suggests a deliberate, engineered style aimed at modern, high-energy branding.
Faceting is applied systematically across bowls, corners, and diagonals, producing a distinctive “beveled” look that stays legible at larger sizes. The strong tilt and compact apertures can make long passages feel intense, but they reinforce a cohesive, branded headline feel.
