Sans Faceted Afti 3 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Fester' by Fontfabric, 'Florin Sans' by Fonts With Love, 'Midsole' by Grype, 'Centima' by TipografiaRamis, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters and bowls read as octagonal or squared forms, with consistent stroke thickness and crisp, orthogonal joins. Diagonals are used sparingly but decisively (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y), while rounded letters like O, C, G, and S are constructed from chamfered segments that keep the silhouette rigid and geometric. Spacing is tight and rhythmically even, producing a dense, sign-like texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, branding marks, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and UI labels in games or tech-themed layouts. It can work for brief blocks of text at larger sizes, where the angular counters and tight rhythm remain clear.
The sharp chamfers and engineered geometry give the font a rugged, manufactured attitude with a retro-futuristic edge. It evokes stenciled labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and sports or game branding where clarity and impact matter more than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact voice through a consistent faceted construction, trading roundness for mechanical precision. Its geometry prioritizes bold silhouettes and instant recognizability, aligning with applications that want an engineered, high-energy tone.
Lowercase forms largely mirror the uppercase construction, maintaining the same faceted language rather than introducing cursive or humanist traits. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic (especially 0, 6, 8, 9), reinforcing a cohesive, modular system across the set.
