Sans Faceted Afry 3 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kufica' by Artegra, 'Angulosa M.8' by Ingo, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Matricule 59' by designdefontes (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with planar cuts. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and curves (like O/C/G) are rendered as faceted octagonal forms. Vertical emphasis is strong, with tall proportions, tight apertures, and squared terminals that create a rigid, machined rhythm across text. The lowercase follows the same structural logic with simplified bowls and short joins, keeping a consistent, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and bold logotypes where a hard-edged, engineered feel is desired. It also fits sports branding and signage applications that benefit from tall, compact letterforms and high visual impact.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage and team/jersey lettering. Its sharp geometry and compact spacing give it a disciplined, no-nonsense voice with a retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact within narrow widths by using faceted geometry and dense, rectangular counters. Its consistent chamfer language suggests a deliberate, industrialized take on condensed sans forms for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
Numerals are similarly angular and compact, with squared shapes and clipped corners that maintain uniform color in runs of digits. The design favors strong silhouettes over delicate interior detail, so it reads best when allowed adequate size and breathing room.
