Sans Faceted Vapa 3 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, and 'Beachwood' and 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, squared sans with crisp planar facets that replace curves, producing octagonal counters and chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with a geometric, engineered construction and a low-detail interior rhythm—rectangular apertures, flattened terminals, and tight joins. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure with compact bowls and short arms, and several characters feature horizontal cut-ins that create a stencil-like, segmented feel. Numerals follow the same angular logic, reading as solid blocks with clipped corners and simplified interiors.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where its faceted geometry can read clearly: headlines, posters, title cards, esports or action-themed branding, and interface labels in games or futuristic dashboards. It can also work for short product names or badges where a compact, high-impact voice is needed.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking industrial hardware, sci‑fi interfaces, and high-impact sports branding. Its sharp facets and dense color feel forceful and tactical, leaning more utilitarian than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a strict, angular construction, translating rounded forms into faceted planes for a techno-industrial aesthetic. The added cut-ins suggest an aim toward a modular, machined look that feels engineered rather than handwritten or humanist.
In continuous text the strong letterfit and repeated chamfers create a pronounced texture; the segmented notches add motion but can introduce visual busyness at smaller sizes. The design favors straight lines and clipped geometry over open apertures, prioritizing impact and uniformity.
