Sans Faceted Aspy 1 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Prenton RP' by BluHead Studio, 'Mr Eaves XL Modern' by Emigre, 'JAF Bernini Sans' by Just Another Foundry, 'Clearface Gothic' by Linotype, 'Clearface Gothic SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, and 'LFT Etica' by TypeTogether (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-forward sans with sharply planed facets that replace many curves with straight, chamfered transitions. Strokes are consistently thick with crisp terminals, and counters tend toward compact, polygonal shapes that emphasize mass and solidity. The uppercase is tall and tightly built, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified, sturdy forms; rounds like o/c/e read as squarish ovals with clipped corners. Overall spacing is relatively tight for a display face, creating a dense, poster-ready texture in words and lines.
Works best at display sizes where the faceted corners and compact counters remain clear—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also support short UI labels or section headers when a strong, industrial voice is desired, but is less suited to long-form reading due to its dense, high-impact rhythm.
The faceted geometry and weight give it a muscular, engineered tone—confident, hard-edged, and slightly retro in a sign-painter or arcade-title way. It feels assertive and utilitarian rather than delicate, with an attention-grabbing presence that suits bold messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive chiseled geometry, combining a straightforward sans skeleton with sharp planar cuts for character. The aim appears to be a rugged, contemporary display style that stays legible while projecting strength and precision.
Diagonal joins and angled cut-ins (notably in letters like K, V, W, X, and the diagonals of Z/7) reinforce a chiseled, constructed look. Numerals match the same chunky, angular logic, maintaining consistency between text and figures for headlines and short statements.
