Sans Faceted Orfu 4 is a regular weight, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evanston Tavern' and 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed geometric sans with sharp, faceted contours that turn curves into short planar segments. Strokes are monolinear with squared terminals and consistent join logic, creating an even, mechanical rhythm. Round letters like O/Q/C and numerals are built from straight sections with clipped corners, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are clean and taut. The lowercase is compact with simple bowls and minimal modulation, and the overall fit feels tidy and engineered, favoring clear silhouettes over softness.
Well-suited to UI labeling, wayfinding, and technical branding where a compact, high-clarity sans is needed. The distinctive faceted shapes also work effectively for headlines, packaging systems, and poster typography that aims for a structured, engineered look without heavy weight.
The faceted construction and narrow stance give the type a technical, industrial tone with a subtle retro-futurist flavor. It reads as precise and utilitarian—more “instrument panel” than “humanist”—with an architectural crispness that stays composed and matter-of-fact.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric sans into a crisp, planar language, replacing curves with controlled facets for a precise, constructed aesthetic. Its condensed proportions and consistent strokes suggest an intention to balance space efficiency with strong, easily recognized letterforms in display and functional settings.
The design’s corner-cut geometry is especially evident in rounded forms and in figures, producing a consistent octagonal motif across the set. Counters remain open and legible at display sizes, and the steady stroke weight helps maintain uniform texture in lines of text.
