Sans Faceted Ufre 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evanston Alehouse' and 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, '946 Latin' by Roman Type, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, with small apertures that keep the overall color dense and uniform. Vertical strokes dominate, terminals are blunt, and the rhythm is driven by consistent corner chamfers that create an octagonal, sign-painter silhouette across letters and numerals. The lowercase follows the same angular logic with sturdy stems and short extenders, maintaining a cohesive, compressed texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, sports branding, and bold logotypes. It also works well for packaging, labels, and wayfinding where a compact, rugged voice and strong silhouette are desirable.
The faceted geometry gives the type a tough, utilitarian tone with strong visibility and a sports-or-industry feel. Its sharp corners and solid mass convey firmness and authority, while the simplified shapes introduce a slightly retro, emblematic character reminiscent of team marks and equipment labeling.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact through dense strokes and geometric faceting, delivering a robust, emblem-friendly style that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The design’s aggressive cornering makes it read best when given room; at small sizes the tight counters and small openings may start to fill in visually. Numerals share the same clipped, badge-like construction, supporting consistent lockups for scoring, labeling, and signage.
