Sans Faceted Dehe 3 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry and 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from heavy, block-like forms with chamfered corners and faceted cuts standing in for curves. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and many joins feature clipped diagonals that create a consistent, planar rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase follows the same engineered geometry as the caps, with single-storey a and g and a simple, straight-backed construction throughout. Numerals are equally chunky and angular, keeping a steady footprint and sturdy verticals for a uniform, hard-edged texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its heavy, angular silhouettes can be appreciated without crowding. It works well for sports branding, industrial or technical labeling, packaging, and bold poster typography that benefits from a rugged, constructed look.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, with a fabricated, machine-cut feel. Its sharp facets and dense black shapes suggest industrial labeling, sports identity, or high-impact display settings where clarity and toughness matter more than softness or refinement.
The font appears intended as a high-impact display sans that replaces curves with crisp facets to project strength and precision. Its consistent chamfer logic and tight counters suggest a goal of creating a sturdy, engineered voice for branding and attention-grabbing titles.
The design’s internal notches and cut-ins create a slightly segmented impression that reads as quasi-stencil in spots, especially in tight joins and interior corners. In extended text it produces a dark, compact color with pronounced shapes that hold together best at larger sizes.
