Sans Faceted Mida 3 is a regular weight, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Francker' and 'Francker Paneuropean' by Linotype and 'Byker', 'Celdum', and 'Metral' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from straight strokes with chamfered, faceted corners that replace most curves. Stems and horizontals appear monolinear, with crisp joints and a consistent, engineered rhythm. Round letters and numerals resolve into octagonal forms (notably O/0 and C/G), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y stay sharp and clean. Lowercase is compact and tidy, with a single-storey a and g, simple terminals, and squared-off bowls that keep counters open at text sizes.
Best suited to display roles where the angular detailing can be seen: headlines, logos/wordmarks, product branding, packaging, and UI titles for tech or industrial themes. It can work for short text blocks when ample size and spacing preserve the crisp facets.
The faceted construction gives a technical, machined tone—more instrument-panel than editorial. It reads as modern and pragmatic, with a subtle sci‑fi edge that suggests hardware, athletics, or engineered products rather than softness or tradition.
The letterforms appear designed to translate curved geometry into planar facets for a precise, manufactured look. The consistent chamfer logic and open counters suggest an emphasis on clean reproduction and a distinctive, modern silhouette.
The design relies on repeated chamfers for identity, creating strong consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures. Figures are similarly angular and straightforward, with clear separation between rounded forms and straight-sided digits, supporting signage-like clarity.
