Sans Faceted Ukza 2 is a bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Midsole' by Grype, 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Radiate Sans' by Studio Sun, 'Metral' by The Northern Block, and 'Baluarte' by Tomtype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted sans built from crisp planar cuts rather than smooth curves. Counters and bowls read as octagonal or chamfered shapes, with consistent corner truncations across rounds like O, C, G, and 0. Strokes are monolinear and robust, with broad proportions and a forward-leaning rhythm that tightens apertures and creates a fast, compact texture in text. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, and the overall construction favors straight segments, sharp joins, and mechanical geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the angular cuts and slanted stance can do the work: headlines, sports or esports identity, gaming graphics, posters, and bold on-screen callouts. It can also function for large-size signage or labels where a technical, hard-edged voice is desired.
The faceted geometry and forward slant convey speed, toughness, and a distinctly tech-forward attitude. It feels at home in contexts that want a competitive, engineered tone—more like performance equipment and sci‑fi interfaces than neutral editorial type.
The design appears intended to translate the visual language of machined parts and beveled surfaces into a readable display sans. By replacing curves with consistent facets and leaning the forms forward, it aims to project motion and strength while keeping letterforms sturdy and highly graphic.
Uppercase forms keep a disciplined, blocky silhouette, while lowercase maintains the same angular logic with simplified curves and clipped joints. Numerals are similarly chamfered, with the 0 echoing the octagonal counter style, reinforcing a cohesive, machine-cut look across the set.
