Sans Faceted Afsy 6 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Sicret' by Mans Greback (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace most curves with crisp facets. Strokes stay uniform and heavy, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that create an octagonal rhythm across bowls and joints. Counters are tight and geometric, and the alphabet is drawn with a consistent modular logic that keeps forms rigid and mechanical; lowercase echoes the uppercase structure, with single-storey shapes and minimal curvature. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, reading as solid, sign-like figures with strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display titling, logotypes, packaging marks, and bold signage. It also fits UI or overlay text in game/tech contexts where a geometric, faceted voice reinforces a synthetic or industrial theme.
The faceted geometry gives the face a hard-edged, engineered tone—more machine-made than humanist. Its sharp angles and dense black shapes evoke arcade and sci‑fi interfaces, industrial labeling, and sports/competition energy, projecting confidence and impact rather than warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, octagonal construction into a practical display alphabet: strongly simplified curves, consistent chamfers, and a tight, upright stance that reads as sturdy and technical. The overall system prioritizes visual punch and a distinctive angular signature over nuanced modulation.
Diagonal notches and clipped corners recur throughout, producing a distinctive zig-zag texture in runs of text. Spacing appears designed to keep letters compact, while the simplified curves can make similar shapes (like C/G/O/Q) feel closely related—useful for a cohesive look, but best when clarity is supported by size or context.
