Sans Faceted Etge 6 is a bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dignus' by Eurotypo, 'Forza' by Hoefler & Co., 'Cairoli Now' by Italiantype, and 'Ddt' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-slanted sans with sharply faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing octagonal counters and polygonal bowls. Strokes are monolinear and sturdy, with squared terminals and consistent, machined-looking joins. Proportions are broad with generous set width and a compact, athletic silhouette; the lowercase keeps a straightforward, upright structure while retaining the same chamfered geometry. Numerals echo the same cut-corner logic for a cohesive, emblematic texture.
Best suited for display contexts where strong personality and high impact are desired—sports identities, athletic packaging, esports/gaming graphics, posters, and bold interface headers. It can also work for short technical labels or product marks where a rugged, engineered feel is beneficial, but the heavy faceting is likely too assertive for long-form text.
The overall tone feels fast, tough, and engineered—more like equipment labeling or team graphics than neutral editorial typography. The slant and hard facets add urgency and impact, suggesting motion and competitiveness with a slightly sci‑fi edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a dynamic, performance-driven look by combining a pronounced slant with angular, chamfered shapes that mimic cut or stamped lettering. The consistent polygonal treatment across letters and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive branding and headline presence rather than quiet readability.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (C/G/O/Q, e, 0/8/9), creating a distinctive “cut metal” rhythm that stays recognizable at display sizes. The dense stroke weight and angled forms create strong word shapes, while tight interior apertures can visually close up as size decreases.
