Sans Faceted Anfo 7 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hanley Pro' by District 62 Studio, 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'Ambulatoria' by Pepper Type, and 'Celdum' and 'Metral' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with sharply faceted construction where curves are replaced by straight planes and clipped corners. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals and small notches that create an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette across rounds and diagonals alike. Counters tend to be compact and geometric, giving letters a dense, punchy color, while the overall spacing reads fairly tight in text. Uppercase forms feel especially structured and modular; lowercase retains the same faceted logic with simplified bowls and angled joins.
Best suited for display typography where strong silhouettes matter: posters, headlines, packaging, and branding that wants a rugged or techno edge. It also fits sports or esports graphics, event titles, and UI/game overlays where angular, high-impact lettering is desirable.
The face projects a tough, utilitarian energy with a distinctly digital and game-like attitude. Its chiseled geometry suggests machinery, armor, or cut vinyl, lending an assertive, high-impact tone that reads as bold and confident rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to translate an octagonal, engineered aesthetic into a readable sans, prioritizing punchy shapes and consistent faceting over smooth curves. Its construction suggests a goal of creating a bold, emblematic voice that holds up in large, attention-grabbing applications.
The faceting is applied consistently enough to feel systematized, with diagonals and clipped corners doing most of the stylistic work. In continuous text, the dense counters and hard angles create a strong texture that favors display settings over small sizes, where interior shapes may begin to close up.
