Sans Faceted Ofvo 3 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Libertad Mono' by ATK Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets that create an octagonal, machined silhouette. Strokes are uniform in thickness and the letterforms are compact and blocky, with squared terminals and consistent right-angle structure. The rhythm is highly regular and grid-like, with clear, open counters in letters such as O, D, and P, and a deliberate geometric simplification in diagonals and bowls. Numerals and punctuation follow the same cut-corner logic, producing a cohesive, engineered texture in text.
It suits contexts where a strict, mechanical aesthetic supports the message: terminal-style interfaces, technical dashboards, and UI elements that benefit from a rigid grid. The sturdy forms also work well for labels, warning text, equipment graphics, and packaging or product markings where durability and legibility at medium sizes are important.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and other no-nonsense visual systems. Its sharp geometry and repetitive cadence also give it a retro-digital flavor—confident, utilitarian, and slightly game/arcade adjacent without becoming playful. The heavy, faceted shapes read as sturdy and functional, emphasizing clarity and impact over softness.
The design intention appears to be a pragmatic, system-like face that prioritizes regularity and hard-edged geometry. By using faceted corners in place of curves and maintaining consistent stroke behavior across the set, it aims to deliver an engineered look that stays orderly and readable in structured layouts.
In running text, the consistent spacing produces a strong vertical-and-horizontal “scanline” texture, with diagonals (K, V, W, X) rendered as stepped, angular joins rather than smooth transitions. The cut-corner construction remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain uniform color and alignment in dense blocks of text.
