Sans Faceted Ufge 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Protrakt Variable' by Arkitype, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Magnitudes' by DuoType, 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with chamfered corners and faceted joins that replace curves with short straight segments. The shapes feel built from squared-off strokes with octagonal counters, producing a crisp, cut-metal look. Terminals are blunt and consistently beveled, and interior apertures tend toward rectangular or multi-sided forms, keeping the rhythm dense and uniform. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, maintaining a cohesive, sign-like silhouette across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, sports and team-style branding, product packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for attention-grabbing headlines and display typography where the angular, machined character can be a primary visual element.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a sporty, workwear energy. Its angular faceting reads as mechanical and tough, evoking stenciled hardware, varsity lettering, and rugged branding rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a faceted, engineered geometry—turning familiar sans forms into sharp, planar silhouettes that read as sturdy, athletic, and industrial.
The faceting is applied systematically, giving the font a strong modular consistency that stays legible at larger sizes while emphasizing silhouette over fine detail. The dense stroke mass and tight interior spaces make it feel most confident where large, clear shapes can dominate the page.
