Sans Faceted Etba 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Ciutadella' by Emtype Foundry, 'Panton' by Fontfabric, 'Charles Wright' by K-Type, and 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with an angular, faceted construction that replaces curves with straight segments and chamfered corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing strong, compact silhouettes and crisp edges. Counters tend toward octagonal/rectilinear shapes, and joints are cut with planar facets that create a mechanical rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase follows the same engineered geometry, with single-storey forms and squared terminals; numerals are equally blocky and tightly framed.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and bold branding where the faceted geometry can be appreciated. It can work well for sports identities, industrial or tech-flavored packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a sharp, engineered texture.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a sporty, machine-made attitude. Its sharp facets and forward slant suggest speed, toughness, and a utilitarian, technical sensibility rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, speed-oriented display voice by combining a forward-leaning stance with planar, chamfered construction. The consistent, modular faceting gives it a purposeful, fabricated look aimed at high-impact titling and branding.
Because of the dense weight and frequent corner cuts, interior spaces can close up at smaller sizes, especially in letters with tight counters. The oblique stance and angular detailing create strong word-shapes that read best when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
