Sans Faceted Ufse 3 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Ft Zeux' by Fateh.Lab, 'Kemio' by Fitrah Type, 'Sharka' by PeGGO Fonts, 'Mind The Caps' by Shaped Fonts, and 'Fixture' by Sudtipos (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from stout, compact letterforms with a condensed footprint and dense vertical rhythm. Curves are largely replaced by sharp, planar facets, producing chamfered corners and clipped terminals throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with only modest internal modulation, and counters tend to be small and geometric, reinforcing a dark, compact texture in text. The overall silhouette reads as squared and engineered, with strong straight-sided stems and occasional angled cuts that add a carved, tool-like finish.
It performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, logos, and bold packaging callouts where the faceted details can read clearly. The condensed, dark texture makes it suitable for stacked typography, badges, and apparel graphics, especially when an industrial or retro-sturdy feel is desired. For longer text, larger sizes and added spacing will help preserve legibility.
The faceted construction and heavy color create an assertive, no-nonsense tone that feels industrial and rugged. Its angular cuts and compressed proportions also suggest a retro poster sensibility—bold, attention-seeking, and built for impact rather than delicacy. In longer settings it maintains a punchy, gritty presence that can feel energetic and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to translate a carved, hard-edged aesthetic into a compact, attention-grabbing display sans. By replacing smooth curvature with angular facets, it emphasizes toughness and graphic immediacy while keeping the forms simple and bold for strong reproduction.
The font’s distinctive voice comes from its repeated chamfer motif, which unifies rounded forms like O/Q as well as straighter letters such as E/F/T into the same cut-metal language. Spacing appears tight and the shapes pack together into a strong headline band, making careful tracking and generous line spacing helpful when setting multi-line copy.
