Sans Faceted Etma 9 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ultimatum MFV' by Comicraft, 'FX Neofara' by Differentialtype, 'Avionic' by Grype, and 'Beachwood' and 'Hyperspace Race' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-leaning sans with sharply faceted construction in place of smooth curves. Strokes are broadly uniform and end in crisp, planar cuts, creating octagonal counters and clipped terminals throughout. The letters are compact and upright in their internal geometry but strongly slanted overall, producing a fast, compressed rhythm. Counters stay relatively tight, and the lowercase maintains a practical, workmanlike structure with single-storey forms and sturdy joins, keeping the texture dense and punchy in text lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It fits sports identities, team or event graphics, gaming or esports visuals, and industrial or tactical UI titling, especially when used at medium to large sizes where the faceting reads clearly.
The faceted cuts and strong slant give the face a speed-and-impact feel that reads as sporty and assertive. Its angular language suggests machinery, motorsport, and tactical graphics rather than softness or elegance, with a confident, no-nonsense tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using faceted geometry to project speed and toughness. By replacing curves with planar cuts and keeping stroke weight steady, it aims for a consistent, machine-made look that remains legible while feeling energetic and forceful.
The uppercase feels more display-oriented, with especially prominent corner clipping on round letters, while the numerals echo the same chamfered, plaque-like silhouettes. In longer samples the consistent slant and dense spacing create a strong directional flow, making the style most effective when set with ample line spacing or used in short bursts.
