Sans Faceted Asna 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to '403 Quzie' by 403TF, 'Procerus' by Artegra, 'Filler' by CarnokyType, 'Metro Block' by Ghozai Studio, 'Odradeck' by Harvester Type, and 'Tusker Grotesk' by Lewis McGuffie Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. The forms are tall and tightly set, with blunt terminals, narrow apertures, and frequent octagonal shaping (notably in bowls and rounds). Counters are compact and vertical emphasis is strong; many letters show symmetrical, engineered construction with consistent stroke thickness and minimal modulation. Numerals and capitals match the same chiseled geometry, producing a dense, poster-forward texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well for sports-related graphics, event posters, industrial or technical branding, bold packaging callouts, and large-format signage where its faceted geometry can read clearly.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a stamped, machined feel that reads as confident and no-nonsense. Its sharp facets and compressed stance evoke vintage athletic lettering and industrial signage, leaning toward bold, high-impact messaging rather than softness or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a tight width while maintaining a distinct, faceted silhouette. By translating curves into clipped, planar edges, it aims for a rugged, engineered character that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures for cohesive display typography.
In longer lines the dense black mass and tight internal spacing create a strong rhythm, while the faceted joins and clipped corners add sparkle at large sizes. The design’s narrow openings and compact counters suggest it benefits from generous tracking and ample size for maximum clarity.
