Sans Faceted Pafu 7 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Tradesman' by Grype (names referenced only for comparison).

A monoline, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, turning bowls and curves into crisp octagonal forms. Counters are mostly rectangular, joins are sharp, and terminals end in flat cuts or diagonal chamfers, creating a consistently faceted silhouette across the set. Proportions favor a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, and the overall rhythm reads slightly modular, with squared shapes in O/0-like forms and more open construction in letters such as E, F, and T. Numerals follow the same polygonal logic, keeping widths and corner treatments consistent for a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
This style suits short-to-medium display text where a technical, futuristic look is desired—such as UI headings, game titles, sci-fi posters, event graphics, and product/industrial labeling. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from sharp, machined geometry and a compact, high-impact rhythm.
The faceted geometry and hard corners give the font a distinctly digital, engineered tone, evoking sci-fi interfaces, arcade-era signage, and industrial labeling. Its clean, schematic forms feel precise and utilitarian, with a confident, contemporary edge rather than a soft or humanist voice.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, planar system, replacing curves with chamfered corners to produce a robust, digital-forward aesthetic. Consistent stroke weight and repeated corner logic suggest a focus on modularity and clear, high-contrast silhouettes for display use.
Diagonal corner cuts are used as a unifying motif, helping differentiate similar shapes (for example, round-derived letters) while maintaining a tight, grid-friendly construction. The overall texture stays even and crisp in text, with strong separation between strokes and counters that supports quick recognition at larger sizes.
