Sans Faceted Affu 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Enamela' by K-Type, 'Autogate' by Letterhend, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal constructions in place of curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with small, squared counters and clipped terminals that keep the silhouette tight. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic, with straight-sided bowls and notched joins that create a consistent mechanical rhythm across text. Figures are equally robust and simplified, matching the same cut-corner geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact wordmark is needed. It also fits signage, labels, and team or event graphics that benefit from a rugged, engineered look and clear, blocky forms at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is utilitarian and forceful, leaning toward industrial signage and athletic lettering. Its angular facets and compressed presence read as tough, no-nonsense, and engineered rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to translate classic block lettering into a faceted, cut-corner system that stays bold and compact while maintaining legibility. The consistent chamfers and simplified counters suggest an emphasis on durability, reproducibility, and a strong, industrial presence.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (C, O, G, 0, 8) and diagonals (A, V, W, X), producing strong, recognizable silhouettes with minimal curvature. In continuous text the dense black shapes create a steady, emphatic texture that favors impact over delicacy.
