Sans Faceted Ufbe 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, and 'Azbuka' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with straight-sided construction and sharply chamfered corners that turn bowls and curves into faceted, near-octagonal forms. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing strong, dense silhouettes and tight internal counters. Proportions are condensed with short extenders and a steady, mechanical rhythm; many joins and terminals finish with clipped angles rather than rounded endings. Numerals and capitals feel particularly structured and sign-like, while lowercase maintains the same planar geometry with simplified forms and square-ish punctuation dots.
Best suited to display settings where bold, compact shapes are an advantage: headlines, posters, team or event branding, packaging, labels, and attention-grabbing UI or title cards. It performs well when you want a strong, engineered texture and consistent angularity, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The faceted geometry and dense weight give a tough, utilitarian tone that reads as sporty and industrial, with a hint of arcade or game-title energy. Its clipped corners and compact spacing suggest engineered sturdiness rather than friendliness, projecting impact and urgency in headlines.
The font appears designed to translate a classic block-sans into a faceted, chamfered style, prioritizing impact and a uniform, machined rhythm over softness or calligraphic nuance. Its condensed proportions and clipped corners aim to deliver immediate recognizability in bold signage and branding contexts.
The design favors clear, angular silhouettes and repeated corner angles, creating a cohesive ‘cut metal’ texture across words. Apertures and counters are deliberately constrained, which increases visual punch at large sizes but can make long passages feel dark and compact.
