Sans Faceted Buka 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Area51' by Comicraft, 'POLIGRA' by Machalski, and 'Sicret' by Mans Greback (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from heavy, straight-sided strokes with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp planar cuts. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, and many joins terminate in clipped diagonals that create an octagonal, engineered silhouette across the alphabet. The lowercase follows the same geometric construction as the uppercase, yielding a compact, uniform texture with minimal contrast and strong edge definition. Numerals and punctuation keep the same hard-edged geometry, producing a dense, high-ink rhythm in text.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, logotypes, packaging, and branded graphics where a bold, technical impression is desired. It can also work for game/UI titles, arcade-inspired visuals, and sports or team-style applications that benefit from a compact, armored look.
The overall tone feels industrial and machine-made, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade, scoreboard, or sci-fi interface lettering. Its sharp facets and compact counters give it a forceful, no-nonsense voice that reads as technical and rugged rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate traditional sans letterforms into a hard-edged, faceted geometry, prioritizing impact and a machined aesthetic over softness or nuanced detail. Its consistent chamfered construction suggests a goal of creating a distinctive, systematized display face that holds up in bold, high-contrast applications.
Because the interior spaces are tight and the shapes are highly angular, the design gains impact at larger sizes where the faceting reads clearly; at smaller sizes the counters and notches may visually fill in. The consistent chamfer language across rounds (like O, C, G, Q) and diagonals (like A, V, W, X) creates a cohesive, modular system.
