Sans Faceted Eldu 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, and 'Block Capitals' by K-Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular display face built from straight strokes and sharply cut corners, with faceted joins that replace most curves. The letterforms show a consistent right-leaning slant and a compact, upright stance, with squared counters and notched terminals that give edges a machined look. Uppercase shapes are broad and blocklike, while the lowercase follows the same geometry with a tall x-height and minimal differentiation between thick and thin strokes. Numerals and capitals share the same clipped, planar construction for a uniform, stencil-like solidity without true breaks.
Best suited to bold headlines, sports and team identities, event posters, apparel graphics, and packaging where a hard-edged, high-impact voice is desired. It can also work for short subheads or callouts in UI or editorial layouts when used sparingly and at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, leaning toward athletic and industrial cues. Its sharp facets and forward slant feel fast, tough, and slightly retro, reminiscent of team branding and hard-edged promotional graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, planar letterforms and aggressive corner treatment, pairing a forward-leaning stance with compact, blocky construction for energetic display typography.
The geometry creates strong texture in lines of text, with frequent interior angles and squared bowls producing a dense, patterned rhythm. Apertures tend to be tight and corners are prominent, so the design reads best when size and spacing allow the facets to remain clear.
