Sans Faceted Elfa 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Molde' by Letritas, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Hype vol 2' by Positype, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, 'Kapra Neue' by Typoforge Studio, and 'Folio' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: sports branding, posters, headlines, esports, packaging, sporty, industrial, aggressive, tactical, retro, high impact, speed, space saving, ruggedness, technical tone, faceted, angular, blocky, condensed, slanted.
This typeface is built from sharp, planar facets that replace curves with clipped corners and straight segments. Strokes are heavy and uniform, producing a dense, compact color with minimal modulation. The overall stance is consistently forward-slanted, with narrow proportions and tight internal counters, giving letters a punchy, compressed rhythm. Terminals are blunt and chamfered, and rounded forms like O/C/G read as multi-sided shapes rather than true curves; figures follow the same cut, geometric logic for a cohesive set.
Use it for high-impact display settings such as sports identities, event posters, game/esports graphics, and bold promotional headlines. It also suits packaging, labels, and product marks where a tough, mechanical voice is desired and space is limited.
The faceted construction and strong slant project speed and force, suggesting motorsport, athletics, and tough industrial labeling. Its hard angles and compact fit feel assertive and tactical, leaning toward a modern “performance” look with a hint of retro arcade or action-title energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and speed through a condensed, forward-leaning silhouette and a consistent system of chamfered corners. By translating round letters into planar facets, it aims for a rugged, technical aesthetic that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The strong black mass and tight apertures make it most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the chamfers and polygonal counters remain clear. The forward lean and condensed build create a dynamic line texture that reads best in short bursts rather than extended passages.
