Sans Faceted Nita 11 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Swiss 911' by Bitstream, 'Helvetica' by Linotype, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Policia Secreta' by Woodcutter (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display face built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, near-octagonal turns. Strokes are consistently thick with mostly squared terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that create a cut-metal, stenciled geometry. Counters are compact and rectangular-to-octagonal, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, producing dense word shapes and strong rectangular silhouettes. Numerals and capitals share the same angular logic, while the lowercase keeps tall, sturdy forms with minimal modulation and firm, block-like joins.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, logo wordmarks, and packaging where strong, angular letterforms are an advantage. It can also work for signage-style applications when set large, especially where a rugged, industrial impression is desired.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a utilitarian, machined feel that recalls athletic lettering, industrial signage, and retro arcade or sports branding. Its sharp facets and compressed proportions give it a no-nonsense, high-impact voice suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width, using consistent chamfers and planar joins to create a distinctive faceted look. The uniform, blocky construction prioritizes bold presence and graphic cohesion over subtle text readability.
Diagonal corner cuts are used systematically across bowls and outer corners, creating a cohesive faceted texture at both headline and larger display sizes. The condensed spacing and large black areas can close up in long passages, so it reads best with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
