Sans Faceted Buhe 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, 'Bulltoad' by Typodermic, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, block-constructed sans with strong faceting: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with squared terminals and consistent chamfers that create an octagonal, stencil-like silhouette without actual cutouts. Counters are compact and often squarish, producing a tight internal rhythm and a high-impact texture. Uppercase forms read wide and stable, while lowercase remains similarly rigid with simplified bowls and angular joins, keeping the overall system visually uniform across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, bold settings where the faceted silhouettes can read quickly—headlines, posters, athletic branding, badges, and high-contrast packaging. It also works well for labels, uniforms, and title treatments that benefit from an industrial or varsity-like presence.
The letterforms project a tough, utilitarian tone with a sporty, institutional feel. The sharp planar cuts and dense weight suggest machinery, uniforms, and scoreboard aesthetics, leaning into a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy, geometric construction and consistent corner faceting, offering a clean sans structure with a distinctive hard-edged character. The goal seems to be a robust display face that feels engineered and emphatic while staying visually coherent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The faceted geometry makes diagonals and curves feel engineered rather than drawn, giving the font a distinctive “cut metal” presence. Numerals follow the same clipped-corner construction, maintaining consistent color and impact in mixed alphanumeric settings.
