Sans Faceted Afmi 11 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, short x-height font visually similar to 'Cheap Pine' by HVD Fonts, 'Sheldrake JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Parkson' by Rook Supply, and 'Havana Sunset' by Set Sail Studios (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a strongly condensed stance and monolinear strokes. Curves are consistently translated into planar facets, producing clipped corners on rounds and sharp, chiseled joins throughout. Counters are tight and vertically biased, with a generally rectangular rhythm; bowls and shoulders read as cut from straight segments rather than drawn with smooth arcs. Spacing is disciplined and the overall texture is dense, with distinct, high-impact silhouettes in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where dense, high-contrast-in-size letterforms can carry the message. The sharp, compact shapes work well for sports branding, event promotion, bold packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark concepts that need a tough, engineered look. It’s less ideal for long text blocks, where the tight counters and compressed rhythm can reduce comfort.
The faceted construction and condensed proportions create an industrial, retro display tone with a sporty edge. It feels forceful and pragmatic, like lettering designed to project strength and urgency rather than delicacy. The sharp geometry also adds a slightly mechanical, engineered character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while preserving clear, sturdy letter recognition. Its faceted treatment suggests an aim to evoke cut-metal or stencil-like construction without adding ornament, keeping the tone straightforward and powerful.
Caps dominate visually, and the lowercase keeps the same compressed, blocklike logic, helping mixed-case settings stay cohesive. Numerals share the same angular rounding and tight interiors, maintaining a consistent, punchy color across alphanumerics.
