Sans Faceted Etfe 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Aeroport' by Brownfox, 'SK Reykjavik' by Salih Kizilkaya, and 'Dylan' by Wiescher Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A slanted, heavy sans with sharply faceted construction: curves are replaced by chamfered corners and straight segments, producing a polygonal, cut-metal silhouette. Strokes stay largely uniform, with blunt terminals and frequent diagonal joints that create a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Counters tend toward octagonal forms (notably in O/0 and rounded lowercase), and diagonals in letters like A, V, W, X, and Y are steep and sturdy. Spacing reads compact and energetic in text, with a forward-leaning stance and slightly engineered, modular proportions.
Best suited to display settings where its angular facets and forward slant can read as intentional style—sports identities, racing-themed graphics, game titles, tech event posters, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short interface labels or UI headings when a high-energy, mechanical voice is desired, but extended body text may feel visually intense.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and contemporary, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial signage. The faceting adds an assertive edge that feels technical and performance-oriented rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to translate a sans skeleton into a faceted, speed-driven aesthetic, prioritizing impact and a cohesive geometric texture. By substituting curves with chamfers and maintaining sturdy, uniform strokes, it aims for a rugged, engineered presence that remains readable in large, punchy applications.
Distinctive chamfers are applied consistently across the alphabet and numerals, giving the font a cohesive “machined” look. Numerals echo the same angular logic, with 0 rendered as a faceted ring and figures like 2, 3, 5, and 8 built from sharp, planar turns that stay legible at display sizes.
