Sans Faceted Ufgo 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akzidenz-Grotesk Next' by Berthold; 'Dic Sans' by CAST; 'Copperplate New' by Caron twice; 'Amsi Pro', 'Amsi Pro AKS', and 'Dalle' by Stawix; and 'Obvia Narrow' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built display sans with sharp chamfered corners that turn curves into faceted planes. Strokes stay monolinear and dense, producing compact counters and strong rectangular rhythm. The uppercase forms read as sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase keeps the same cut-corner logic with simplified bowls and straightened joins. Numerals are similarly octagonal and weighty, with square-ish apertures and a consistent, tightly fitted silhouette.
Best suited for short-form display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, team or event branding, labels, and bold logo wordmarks. It also works well for numbers-heavy uses like score graphics or price callouts where the sturdy, faceted numerals can carry visual weight.
The overall tone feels bold and competitive, with a sporty, signage-like energy. Its angular faceting adds a retro arcade/scoreboard flavor while remaining clean and contemporary. The density and sharp corners give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that still reads as fun in punchy headlines.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-corner motif into a highly legible, high-impact display face. By replacing round geometry with planar facets and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims to look engineered and energetic while remaining straightforward to set in all-caps or mixed case.
The faceting is applied consistently across diagonals, terminals, and outer corners, creating a cohesive ‘machined’ look. Counters are relatively small, so spacing and size will strongly influence clarity in continuous text.
