Sans Faceted Elto 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-slanted display sans built from crisp, faceted strokes that replace curves with planar cuts. Letterforms are compact and sturdy with a consistent oblique angle, squared counters, and frequent chamfered corners that give rounds like O/Q/0 an octagonal feel. Terminals tend to be blunt and sliced, with pronounced step-like joins in glyphs such as S, G, and 2/3, creating a tight, mechanical rhythm. The numeral set matches the caps in mass and geometry, maintaining the same clipped corners and strong baseline presence.
Best suited for short, impactful settings such as sports identities, event posters, product marks, and punchy headline systems where the faceted construction can read clearly. It also fits gaming or tech-forward interfaces for titles, badges, and score/number-heavy callouts where a rugged, kinetic tone is desired.
The overall tone is aggressive and high-energy, with a sporty, performance-driven feel. Its sharp facets and slanted stance suggest speed, toughness, and a utilitarian, engineered attitude rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a bold, oblique silhouette and a consistent faceted construction that signals speed and strength. By trading smooth curves for angular planes, it aims to create a distinctive, industrial flavor that remains cohesive across letters and numerals.
The faceting produces distinct internal angles and small notches in several glyphs, which reads especially clearly at larger sizes. In text, the strong slant and dense shapes create a continuous forward motion, while the chamfered geometry keeps the texture uniform and purposeful.
