Sans Faceted Afgu 9 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Erliga' by Haniefart, 'Brave Brigade' by Invasi Studio, 'Kunst Imprint' and 'Kunst Rounded' by Matt Grey Design, and 'Conthey' by ROHH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, where curves are consistently replaced by angled facets. The forms feel squared and compact, with broad verticals, flat terminals, and small interior counters that stay open through careful corner cutting. Capitals read as sturdy blocks with octagonal bowls and notched joins, while the lowercase follows the same faceted logic with simple, sturdy silhouettes and minimal modulation. Numerals are equally angular and consistent, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where its chunky faceted shapes can carry impact—headlines, posters, logos, and brand marks. It also fits applications that benefit from an industrial or athletic voice such as packaging, signage, team graphics, and UI/overlay titles where bold, angular letterforms are desirable.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, evoking industrial signage, athletic numbering, and retro-tech interfaces. Its faceted geometry gives it a rugged, engineered feel—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly arcade-like—suited to bold statements rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to translate a machined, planar look into a robust sans alphabet, prioritizing strong silhouettes and repeatable angled cuts over round geometry. Its consistency suggests a focus on building a recognizable, high-impact texture for branding and display typography.
The repeated chamfer motif creates strong stylistic unity across letters and figures, and the tight counters and squared shoulders contribute to a compact rhythm in text. Diagonals and joins are handled with consistent angles, which helps maintain clarity while leaning into the “machined” aesthetic.
