Sans Faceted Afso 13 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Marca' by ArimaType, 'Magnitudes' by DuoType, and 'Godiva' by Suby Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, all-caps-forward sans with strong vertical stress and crisp, faceted corners that substitute for curves. Strokes are uniformly heavy with squared terminals that are clipped into small chamfers, creating an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette across rounds like C, O, and G. Counters are tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm is dense and steady, with tall, straight-sided forms and minimal modulation. Lowercase follows the same constructed logic, using simplified, rectilinear bowls and clipped joins; figures are similarly blocky, with angled cuts and sturdy proportions for high-impact numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its angular texture can carry the layout: headlines, posters, sports and team graphics, bold wayfinding, and packaging callouts. It also works well for badges, labels, and UI title treatments that benefit from a compact footprint and high contrast against backgrounds.
The faceted geometry and condensed stance project a tough, functional tone—part industrial labeling, part athletic scoreboard energy. Its sharp corners and dense texture read as confident and purposeful, with a slightly retro, machined feel that suggests strength and precision rather than softness or warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow space while maintaining a distinctive, faceted signature. By replacing curves with planar cuts and keeping strokes consistently heavy, it aims for a rugged, engineered look that remains clear and assertive in large-scale typography.
The design’s repeated chamfer motif creates strong stylistic cohesion and keeps letterforms legible at display sizes by avoiding delicate details. Round shapes are intentionally polygonal, and junctions stay clean and planar, giving the face a consistent ‘cut’ aesthetic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
