Sans Faceted Ufpu 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Morgan Poster' by Feliciano, 'Leverkusen' by Trequartista Studio, and 'Carbon' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, with occasional small interior apertures (notably in forms like A and 8), giving a dense, tightly packed texture. Terminals are uniformly sheared, producing an octagonal rhythm across rounds like O, C, and G, while diagonals in K, R, X, and Y remain steep and rigid. The overall construction feels modular and geometric, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal optical softening.
Well-suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, sports team marks, and bold event titling. The compact, engineered shapes also work for wayfinding-style signage and packaging where an industrial, hard-edged voice is desired.
The faceted, block-built outlines read as tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and hard-edged sports graphics. Its compact proportions and angularity project urgency and impact, with a faint retro arcade/tech flavor due to the octagonal “rounds” and simplified counters.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint by using geometric, chamfered forms and tightly controlled counters. Its faceted treatment suggests a deliberate move toward a machined, angular aesthetic that reads confidently in display settings.
Legibility holds best at medium-to-large sizes where the tight apertures and dense joins don’t fill in visually. The numerals follow the same clipped geometry, and the punctuation shown (period, colon, apostrophe, exclamation) is simple and sturdy, matching the no-nonsense construction.
