Sans Faceted Syle 4 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Rigid Square' by Dharma Type, 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'Forza' by Hoefler & Co., 'KP Duty JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Evanston Alehouse' by Kimmy Design, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built display sans with octagonal geometry and crisp chamfered corners. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and planar cuts, producing faceted bowls and counters with a consistent, engineered rhythm. Strokes are uniform and dense, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal notches that keep internal spaces open despite the mass. Overall proportions feel broad and sturdy, with simplified forms that prioritize impact over fine detail.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as sports identities, event posters, album/cover art, packaging callouts, and bold wayfinding or warning-style labels. It performs particularly well at large sizes where the faceted cuts and internal openings remain clear and contribute to the graphic texture.
The faceted construction reads tough and utilitarian, evoking athletic lettering, machinery, and hard-edged signage. Its angular voice feels confident and slightly retro, with an arcade/scoreboard energy that emphasizes strength and immediacy.
The design appears intended to translate a classic block sans into a faceted, cut-metal aesthetic—maximizing punch and legibility while adding a distinctive angular signature. The repeated chamfers and straightened curves suggest a goal of creating a robust, logo-friendly display face with strong presence in all-caps and numeric-heavy settings.
Counters tend toward rectangular and octagonal shapes, and the diagonally clipped corners create a repeating visual motif across letters and numerals. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic, keeping forms compact and sturdy for consistent color in short words and headlines.
