Sans Faceted Epje 1 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Uniwerek' by GRIN3 (Nowak) and 'Winner' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy block letterform built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with angular facets. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, with consistent, squared-off terminals and a strong vertical emphasis. The face reads as tightly set and punchy, with a slightly worn or distressed interior texture visible in many glyphs that adds grit without breaking the overall silhouette. Uppercase and lowercase share a sturdy, simplified construction that prioritizes bold shapes and clear edges over delicate detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headers, badges, and bold label typography where its dense weight and sharp facets can carry the composition. It also fits team, event, and merch-style graphics, as well as signage that benefits from a sturdy, attention-grabbing presence.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, combining a utilitarian, industrial feel with a hint of old poster and athletic lettering. Its faceted geometry and dense color give it an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that can feel both vintage and modern depending on layout and context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a compact footprint, using faceted, chamfered construction to suggest machined or cut forms. The built-in distressing supports a rugged, printed feel aimed at display use rather than quiet, continuous reading.
Distinctive chamfered corners and notch-like cuts create a consistent octagonal rhythm across rounds (O, C, G, 0) and joints (N, M, W). The distressed speckling appears embedded within the strokes, so the texture becomes part of the personality rather than an external effect.
