Sans Faceted Asna 4 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nearing Condensed Sans' by Fridaytype, 'Hubba' by Green Type, 'Robson' by TypeUnion, 'Amarow' by Umka Type, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display sans with an all-over faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by clipped corners and straight, planar segments. Strokes are uniformly thick and verticals dominate, producing a tall, columnar rhythm with tight internal counters. Terminals are sharply cut, and many joins form angular notches and beveled shoulders, giving letters an octagonal, machined look. Numerals and capitals share the same rigid geometry, while lowercase maintains the same straight-sided structure for a consistent, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where its angular facets can read as a deliberate graphic motif. It performs well for sports branding, event titles, product packaging, and bold signage-style applications, and is most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its sharp bevels and tight counters evoke signage, athletic branding, and rugged product marks—confident, loud, and a bit retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while maintaining a distinctive, chiseled silhouette. By replacing round forms with bevels and hard cuts, it aims for a mechanical, high-energy voice that stands apart from neutral grotesques.
At text sizes the dense interiors and narrow openings can darken quickly, especially in letters with enclosed counters (e.g., B, R, 8, 9) and in sequences of vertical stems. The faceting is highly consistent across the set, which helps maintain a cohesive texture in headlines and short lines.
