Sans Faceted Ansa 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Compose' and 'Protrakt Variable' by Arkitype, 'Aventra' by Graphite, 'MC Marfig' by Maulana Creative, and 'Revx Neue' and 'Revx Neue Rounded' by OneSevenPointFive (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps–friendly sans with strongly faceted construction: curves are replaced by clipped corners and short straight segments, creating an octagonal, machined silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, and bowls/counters tend toward polygonal shapes (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9). Proportions feel sturdy and compact in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a tall, upright stance with simplified, geometric forms and minimal modulation. Numerals match the same chiseled rhythm, reading like cut-out stencils without true breaks.
Best suited for display settings where impact and attitude matter: headlines, posters, team or event graphics, game interfaces, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short signage-style labels, but the dense, faceted texture is strongest when given room and size.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking sports lettering, arcade cabinets, and industrial signage. Its crisp chamfers add a technical, engineered feel that reads as energetic and assertive rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, engineered look by translating a geometric sans into planar facets, keeping letterforms highly legible while emphasizing a cut, machined character for attention-grabbing display typography.
Diagonal strokes (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are broad and steady, reinforcing a uniform texture in words. Round-letter substitutions (C, G, S) rely on facets rather than smooth arcs, giving text a distinctive pixel-meets-metal aesthetic that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
