Sans Faceted Etne 7 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cairoli Classic' and 'Cairoli Now' by Italiantype, 'Final Edition JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Fixture' by Sudtipos, and 'Headliner TC' by Tom Chalky (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, forward-slanted display sans built from sharp facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with clipped corners, beveled terminals, and polygonal counters that keep rounds like O/C/G feeling engineered. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact sidebearings and a consistent rightward lean that adds speed; numerals and caps share the same chiseled geometry and sturdy, block-like construction.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, posters, sports and motorsport graphics, esports/team marks, and bold branding lockups. It can also work for packaging callouts or UI banners where a compact, high-impact voice is needed, while extended body text may feel visually intense due to the dense, dark texture.
The tone is fast, forceful, and competitive—more about impact than subtlety. Its slanted, faceted shapes evoke motion, machinery, and high-energy branding, giving text a decisive, punchy voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact italic with a machined, faceted aesthetic, emphasizing speed and strength in display typography. Its geometric cornering and tight proportions suggest a focus on bold titling and logo-style applications where immediacy and energy are priorities.
Several characters show deliberate corner cuts and angled joins that create a stamped or milled look, especially in the bowls and diagonals. The texture stays dense in longer lines, producing strong black-and-white patterning that reads as assertive at display sizes.
