Sans Faceted Egde 6 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Double Back' and 'Elephantmen' by Comicraft, 'Glembo' by Differentialtype, 'Gasco' by Joelmaker, 'Fixture' by Sudtipos, and 'Pctl9600' and 'Refuel' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-slanted display sans built from crisp, planar segments rather than smooth curves. Corners are chamfered and counters tend toward octagonal shapes, creating a faceted, cut-metal look across both uppercase and lowercase. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals often end in flat, angled cuts that reinforce the directional slant. Spacing feels compact and sturdy, with tight interior counters and a broad, emphatic silhouette that stays cohesive in both single characters and continuous text.
Best suited for short, prominent copy where the faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, product packaging, and punchy logo wordmarks. It also works well for badges, labels, and title treatments that need a compact, high-impact presence.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a competitive, high-impact energy. Its sharp facets and strong slant suggest speed, toughness, and a slightly retro, mechanical attitude—more "action headline" than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an engineered, faceted aesthetic—evoking carved, beveled lettering and fast, energetic motion through a strong slant and angular construction. It prioritizes bold recognition and graphic texture over conventional text neutrality.
The numerals and rounded letters (like O/0) read as polygonal forms, which gives the font a distinctive stamped or machined character. In text lines, the consistent obliquing creates a strong rightward flow, and the chunky joins can form dense dark bands at larger sizes.
