Sans Faceted Bubo 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Protrakt Variable' by Arkitype, 'Copperplate New' by Caron twice, 'Brothers' by Emigre, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with aggressively chamfered corners and faceted shaping that replaces curves with short diagonal cuts. Strokes stay essentially monoline, producing dense, high-ink letterforms with compact counters and strong rectangular proportions. The caps feel squared and uniform, while the lowercase keeps the same armored geometry, with single-storey forms and tightly enclosed bowls. Diagonal elements (K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and crisp, and numerals follow the same clipped, octagonal construction for a consistent, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: sports and team identities, event posters, punchy headlines, apparel graphics, and bold packaging or labels. It can also work for short UI or wayfinding callouts when used at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking varsity lettering, sports signage, and rugged industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and compact internal spaces give it a tough, slightly retro display energy that reads as confident and forceful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through simplified, faceted geometry—capturing the feel of cut metal or carved block lettering while staying clean and sans-like for strong, immediate recognition.
The faceting is applied consistently across straight terminals and corners, creating a strong rhythm of repeated diagonal notches. Interior apertures and counters run small, so the face looks best when given adequate size and spacing rather than crowded into tight settings.
