Sans Faceted Aspy 4 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Gltp Starion' by Glowtype, 'Litmus' by Indian Type Foundry, 'JAF Bernini Sans' by Just Another Foundry, 'Clearface Gothic' by Linotype, 'Clearface Gothic SB' and 'Clearface Gothic SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, 'Cleargothic Pro' by SoftMaker, 'Indecise' by Tipo Pèpel, and 'Clearface Gothic' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with sharply faceted joins and clipped corners that replace most curves with planar angles. Strokes are uniform and dense, with large, squared proportions and tight internal counters—especially in round letters—giving forms a compact, armored silhouette. Terminals are flat and abrupt, and diagonals (V, W, Y, Z, K) read as sturdy wedges rather than sleek strokes. The lowercase keeps the same squared construction and a tall x-height, producing a strong, even texture in text while maintaining clear, geometric letter silhouettes.
Best suited to display roles where bold geometry is an asset: posters, headlines, sports and team branding, product packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for short bursts of text (tags, calls to action, labels) where its compact counters and strong rhythm remain legible.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, with a confident, high-impact presence that feels sporty and industrial. Its faceted geometry evokes stenciled or machined signage and a retro display sensibility, projecting strength and urgency more than refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact through a rugged, faceted construction—turning curved forms into angular planes for a machined, emblematic look that holds up in bold display settings.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 become near-octagonal shapes with small counters, which increases punch at large sizes but can darken dense settings. Numerals follow the same hard-edged construction, matching the caps in weight and presence for consistent headline color.
