Sans Faceted Ufmu 8 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Sharka' by PeGGO Fonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, tightly set display sans with a pronounced forward slant and compact proportions. Curves are largely replaced by planar, chiseled facets, producing hard corners, clipped terminals, and wedge-like joins. Strokes read as mostly uniform with subtle optical modulation from the angled cuts, and counters are relatively small, emphasizing density and punch. The texture is energetic and irregular in a controlled way, with lively diagonals and sharp notches that keep the letterforms feeling fast and mechanical rather than smooth.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and title treatments where bold presence and motion are desired. It can work well for sports branding, esports/event graphics, product packaging, and logotypes that benefit from angular, machined forms. In longer text, it’s most effective for short bursts such as pull quotes, labels, or section headers.
The overall tone is forceful and high-impact, with a speed-and-power attitude. The faceted cuts and compressed stance evoke motorsport graphics, athletic branding, and industrial signage, leaning more assertive than friendly. It carries a slightly retro poster feel while still reading as modern and engineered.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in compact space while conveying speed and toughness. Its faceted construction substitutes crisp planar cuts for traditional curves to create a distinctive, engineered voice that holds up in large, attention-grabbing applications.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same faceted logic as the lowercase, creating a consistent, cut-metal silhouette across the set. The slant is strong enough to read immediately in paragraphs, so it functions best when used for emphasis rather than extended continuous reading.
