Sans Faceted Ufso 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bergk' by Designova, 'Tabloid Edition JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Avilock' by Namara Creative Studio, and 'Gildent' by Sronstudio (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from heavy, block-like forms with sharp chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick and the counters are compact, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Geometry leans toward octagonal and rectangular silhouettes, with squared terminals and clipped joins throughout; round letters like O and Q become faceted rings. Proportions are tight and tall, and spacing reads fairly compact in text, reinforcing a solid, signlike rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where bold presence and distinctive geometry are desired—headlines, posters, sports identities, team merch, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short subheads or labels, but the dense counters and strong angularity are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, no-nonsense voice. Its crisp facets and compressed presence evoke industrial labeling and athletic branding, delivering an energetic, assertive feel without ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, angular letterforms that read quickly and feel engineered. By substituting curves with consistent chamfers, it aims for a rugged, contemporary-industrial look that remains cohesive across letters and figures.
In running text the angular construction stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the design read as a unified system. The faceting creates distinctive silhouettes and a slightly stencil-like impression in places, which increases visual character at display sizes.
