Sans Faceted Asjo 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Manual' by TypeUnion, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with planar chamfers that replace curves, giving most forms an octagonal, cut-corner silhouette. Strokes are uniformly thick with crisp right angles and faceted terminals; counters tend toward rectangular or squared-off shapes. Uppercase letters read compact and sturdy, while the lowercase is similarly geometric with simple construction and minimal modulation. The numerals follow the same chopped geometry, producing a consistent, high-impact rhythm across lines of text.
Best suited to high-impact display roles such as team marks, event posters, bold headlines, and product packaging where the angular, cut-corner aesthetic can carry the design. It can also work well for short labels or signage that benefits from a sturdy, mechanical look and strong presence at larger sizes.
The faceted construction conveys a tough, no-nonsense tone associated with sports lettering, equipment labeling, and industrial signage. Its sharp corners and dense mass feel energetic and forceful, with a slight retro varsity flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, powerful sans with a consistent faceted motif—capturing the visual language of cut metal, athletic block letters, and industrial stenciling without relying on curves. Its primary goal is strong visibility and a distinctive angular texture in display typography.
Diagonal joins appear in letters like K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y, where angled strokes meet with clean, machined-looking intersections rather than softened joints. Punctuation and small details (like i/j dots) are rendered as squared elements, reinforcing the strict geometric theme. In longer text, the bold color and angular rhythm dominate, making it better suited to display settings than extended reading.
