Sans Faceted Asle 3 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Corner Deli' by Fenotype, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Brainy Variable Sans' by Maculinc, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, block-built sans with hard chamfered corners that turn curves into planar facets. Strokes stay uniform in weight, producing a strong, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks, and the counters are compact and squared-off for maximum density. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s angular construction, with a tall, sturdy rhythm and minimal modulation; round letters read as octagonal forms rather than true bowls. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with bold, compact shapes and clipped terminals that keep the texture tight in lines of text.
This font performs best in bold headlines, posters, and brand marks where a condensed, high-impact texture is desirable. It suits sports and team graphics, event titles, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or labeling applications that benefit from a tough, industrial presence. For longer passages, it’s best reserved for short blocks or emphatic pull quotes at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking sports signage, industrial labeling, and retro arcade or scoreboard graphics. Its sharp geometry and tight spacing create a commanding, no-nonsense voice that feels energetic and slightly militaristic. The faceted silhouettes add a techno edge while staying highly graphic and poster-ready.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint, using faceted corner cuts to suggest strength, speed, and manufactured precision. Its consistent stroke weight and clipped geometry prioritize bold legibility and a distinctive, uniform texture in display settings.
Diagonal cuts and flattened curves dominate, giving many glyphs a consistent octagonal silhouette and a rugged, engineered feel. The dense interior spaces and short apertures make it most comfortable at display sizes, where the distinctive cornering and compact counters remain clear.
