Sans Faceted Elwe 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Compose' by Arkitype, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Quantico' by MADType, and 'Frygia' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar cuts that replace most curves. Strokes are broad and uniform, with frequent diagonal terminals and clipped joins that create a faceted, technical silhouette across the alphabet and numerals. Counters tend toward squared octagons, and the overall construction feels built from straight segments and wedges rather than continuous arcs. Spacing and rhythm read tight and punchy, with a slightly condensed feel in many shapes and strong, stable verticals that keep forms legible at display sizes.
This style suits short, high-impact typography such as sports identities, event posters, product marks, and punchy headlines where the angular detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for labels, tech-leaning graphics, and merchandise where a rugged, fast visual voice is desirable; for longer text, it’s best used sparingly at larger sizes.
The tone is forceful and energetic, combining a sporty edge with a hard, engineered attitude. Its faceted cuts and forward slant suggest speed, impact, and a utilitarian toughness, leaning more tactical/industrial than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver an aggressive display voice by combining a bold, forward-leaning stance with faceted geometry and uniform weight. The consistent chamfers and straight-segment construction suggest an aim for a modern, machine-cut look that remains highly readable in branding contexts.
Distinctive features include consistent corner notching, angular apertures, and squared counters that give letters a stencil-like robustness without actual breaks. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, producing a cohesive, badge-ready set that holds up well in high-contrast applications.
