Sans Faceted Etge 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Rigid Square' by Dharma Type, 'Hando' by Eko Bimantara, 'Binate' by Monotype, 'Reyhan' by Plantype, and 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface uses a strongly angular, faceted construction where curves are replaced by clipped corners and planar segments, producing an octagonal rhythm in bowls and counters. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with minimal contrast and a pronounced forward slant that reads as an italic/oblique cut rather than a calligraphic script. The uppercase is compact and blocky, while the lowercase keeps the same chiseled geometry with sturdy, straightforward forms; counters remain fairly open for the weight. Numerals follow the same clipped, polygonal logic, maintaining uniform stroke color and a cohesive, machined silhouette.
Best suited for display applications where its angular facets can be appreciated—sports and esports identities, performance or tech-forward branding, punchy headlines, posters, and compact logo wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when a strong, engineered voice is desired, but longer text blocks will feel intense due to the heavy color and oblique stance.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a crisp, engineered feel that suggests speed, durability, and controlled aggression. Its faceted geometry gives it a modern, tactical edge—more “built” than “drawn”—making it read as confident and performance-driven.
The design intention appears to be delivering a fast, high-impact sans with a distinctive faceted geometry, prioritizing a tough, modern personality and consistent modular construction over softness or neutrality.
The repeated corner cuts create a consistent visual motif across rounds like C/O/Q and diagonals like K/V/W/X, reinforcing a distinctive, emblem-like texture in words. At smaller sizes the dense stroke color can become visually dominant, while at display sizes the facets and clipped terminals become a defining character detail.
