Sans Faceted Akty 4 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nicomedia' by Artegra, 'FF Oxide Solid' by FontFont, 'KP Duty JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Moire' by Microsoft Corporation, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Celdum' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from heavy, blocklike strokes with consistently chamfered corners that turn curves into crisp, planar facets. Counters tend toward squarish or octagonal shapes, and terminals are flat, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. The uppercase set reads clean and geometric, while the lowercase keeps a simplified, utilitarian construction with single-storey forms and tight, squared bowls. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with an especially angular 0 and firm, billboard-like figures that hold together at distance.
It works best for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and branding where a rugged, technical flavor is desired. It can also suit signage or labels that benefit from bold, simplified forms, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels tough and engineered, with a sporty, industrial confidence. Its faceted geometry evokes equipment markings and retro-futurist display lettering, projecting a blunt, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to translate geometric sans letterforms into a faceted, chamfered system that feels manufactured and durable. The emphasis is on strong silhouettes and consistent corner treatment to create an instantly recognizable display voice.
The chamfer motif is applied broadly across the alphabet, creating strong stylistic unity and a distinctive pixel-less “cut metal” look. The dense stroke mass and tight internal spaces give it high presence, favoring larger sizes where the inner counters can breathe.
