Sans Faceted Befu 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Avanti' by Glowtype; 'Antry Sans' by Mans Greback; and 'Amsi Pro', 'Amsi Pro AKS', and 'Sans Beam' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with sharp planar facets that replace most curves, producing a chiseled, polygonal silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are small and squarish, emphasizing dense texture. Terminals are cut on strong diagonals, and rounded letters resolve into straight segments, giving the alphabet a rigid, engineered rhythm. The x-height reads high relative to ascenders, and spacing appears tight, reinforcing a dark, continuous typographic color in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, sports identities, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It performs well when you want a compact, high-ink presence and a distinctly faceted voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial, machined feel that reads as bold and no-nonsense. Its faceted cuts suggest speed, ruggedness, and workwear practicality, leaning toward sporty or tactical branding rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while establishing a distinctive, angular identity. By translating curves into planar cuts and keeping stroke weight steady, it aims for a tough, industrial display look that remains coherent across letters and figures.
The numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged construction, maintaining consistency across the set. In the sample text, the dense weight and compact proportions create strong impact but reduce fine-detail clarity at longer lengths, favoring display use where the angular geometry can be appreciated.
