Sans Faceted Urta 1 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Eurostile Unicase' by Linotype and '946 Latin' by Roman Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with planar facets that substitute for curves, producing octagonal bowls, chamfered corners, and crisp diagonal cuts at terminals. Strokes are monolinear and strongly rectilinear, with squared counters and tight internal spacing that creates dense, high-impact word shapes. Uppercase forms read as engineered blocks, while the lowercase keeps a similarly mechanical construction with simplified, squared apertures and minimal modulation. Numerals match the same faceted logic, with angular turns and sturdy proportions that hold up in large display settings.
Best suited to headlines, logos, posters, packaging, and display typography where a strong, technical voice is desired. It also works well for gaming or sci‑fi themed UI elements and short labels, especially when set with a bit of extra letterspacing.
The overall tone feels futuristic and utilitarian, with a rugged, equipment-like presence reminiscent of sci‑fi interfaces, sports branding, and industrial labeling. Its sharp edges and compact counters convey speed and authority rather than softness or elegance.
The construction suggests an intention to evoke a modern, engineered aesthetic by building letterforms from straight segments and consistent chamfers, prioritizing impact and a distinctive silhouette over text-centric neutrality.
The design relies on consistent chamfer angles and cut-ins to create rhythm across the alphabet, giving the face a cohesive “machined” texture. Because counters are relatively small and joins are tight, it tends to look best with generous tracking and at larger sizes where the internal shapes can breathe.
