Sans Faceted Epzo 12 is a very bold, normal width, very high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Poster Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Lobby Card JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Octin College' by Typodermic, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared proportions, clipped corners, and faceted bowls that replace smooth curves with planar cuts. Strokes are predominantly monolinear in mass but show crisp internal notches and abrupt terminals, creating a hard-edged rhythm. Many glyphs feature vertical slits and scraped-looking cut-ins near joins and counters, giving the shapes a distressed, machined finish. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the overall silhouette reads dense and forceful with tight interior space.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, titles, logotypes, labels, and bold campaign graphics where strong silhouettes and graphic texture are desirable. It also works well for entertainment contexts—gaming, tech, or action themes—where angular, faceted forms help convey intensity and motion.
The tone is assertive and industrial, blending a utilitarian, machine-cut feel with a slightly worn, gritty edge. Its faceted geometry and sharp interruptions suggest techno, gaming, or action-oriented branding, while the distressed cuts add a tough, street or workshop sensibility.
The likely intention is a high-impact display sans that merges geometric, faceted construction with deliberate surface disruption, evoking cut metal, stamped lettering, or worn industrial signage. The consistent notching across glyphs appears designed to add character and texture while maintaining a clear, blocky framework.
The design’s repeated cut marks create a consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping large settings feel energetic rather than purely solid. At small sizes the interior slits and compact counters may visually fill in, so it tends to reward display use where the angular detailing can read clearly.
