Sans Faceted Umja 1 is a very bold, very wide, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Durandal' by Aerotype and 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy geometric sans with sharply faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with planar cuts. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals and a mostly boxy construction, producing octagonal counters in letters like O and D. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic and reads like a compacted, engineered companion to the caps, with a tall x-height and minimal modulation. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the overall rhythm stays rigid and grid-like, emphasizing straight segments, notches, and cut-in apertures.
Best suited for display settings where its hard-edged geometry can read large and crisp—headlines, posters, game titles, esports graphics, and futuristic interface mockups. It can also work for punchy logos and product branding that benefit from an engineered, high-impact look.
The face projects a sci‑fi and industrial tone—mechanical, assertive, and distinctly digital. Its sharp facets and dense black shapes evoke arcade graphics, military/vehicle markings, and tech interfaces more than conversational text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, angular silhouettes and consistent faceting, translating a geometric grid into a distinctive techno aesthetic. It prioritizes characterful shapes and a rigid, constructed feel over neutral readability in long passages.
The faceting creates small interior cuts and narrow openings in several glyphs, which boosts character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same octagonal, stencil-like geometry, keeping the set visually unified for headings and display work.
