Sans Faceted Ange 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Expanded Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Panton Rust' by Fontfabric, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Ddt' by Typodermic, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans built from planar cuts rather than curves, producing faceted counters and chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, and many letters show clipped diagonals and octagonal-like bowls (notably in O/0 and rounded forms), creating a rigid geometric rhythm. Uppercase forms feel compact and sturdy, while lowercase is similarly blocky with simplified apertures and short extenders; numerals match the same chiseled, sign-like construction for a unified texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where impact and character are desired: posters, event titles, sports and team marks, album covers, packaging, and game/arcade-inspired interfaces. It can also work for short labels or badges in product and industrial contexts, especially when set with a bit of extra spacing.
The overall tone is rugged and utilitarian, with a punchy, high-impact presence that reads as sporty and mechanical. Its crisp facets and compressed interior shapes evoke arcade-era lettering and industrial stenciling, giving headlines a bold, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a cut, chiseled aesthetic, substituting curves with straight facets to maximize punch and maintain a consistent, industrial texture across the set. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and a strong, branded voice over delicate detail.
At text sizes the dense black mass and tight counters can make interiors feel closed, especially in letters with small apertures, so it benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing. The distinctive faceting is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings keep a cohesive, engineered look.
