Sans Faceted Elgu 7 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Nextrue' by Asenbayu, 'CF Blast Gothic' by Fonts.GR, 'Blunt' by Miller Type Foundry, 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Fixture' by Sudtipos (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a pronounced forward slant and sharply faceted construction. Curves are largely replaced by planar cuts and chamfered corners, producing octagonal counters and clipped terminals across rounds and diagonals. Strokes stay visually even, with squared joins and a tight, rhythmic spacing that reads dense and punchy; forms like O/0 and C show polygonal rounding rather than true curves, while numerals and capitals retain strong vertical emphasis with aggressive diagonals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, gaming or motorsport graphics, and bold product packaging. It can work for subheads and callouts where density and urgency are desired, but the aggressive facets and tight shapes are most effective at display sizes.
The overall tone is high-energy and forceful, with a speed-and-impact feel created by the slant and compressed width. Its hard facets and blocky silhouettes suggest machinery, racing graphics, or action-oriented branding rather than a quiet editorial voice. The look leans retro-futurist and utilitarian, prioritizing punch and motion.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance and a distinctive faceted geometry. By exchanging smooth curves for cut planes, it creates a recognizable, industrial voice that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Distinctive chamfers create consistent “notched” behavior at corners and ends, giving the font a engineered, cut-metal impression. The lowercase maintains a strong, upright structure despite the slant, and the figures share the same angular logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
