Sans Faceted Elwe 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun and 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A sharply faceted, slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and planar cuts replacing curves. Letterforms are built from straight segments with chamfered corners, producing an octagonal silhouette throughout. Counters are compact and often rectangular, apertures are tight, and joins stay blunt and geometric. Spacing reads sturdy and even, with a forward-leaning rhythm that keeps the texture dense and forceful in words and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its bold, angular texture can carry impact—headlines, posters, team or event branding, gaming/arcade-themed graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or score-style numerals when a tough, technical tone is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and hard-edged, suggesting speed, impact, and a machine-made aesthetic. Its angular construction feels sporty and assertive, with a slightly retro arcade/scoreboard flavor when set in all caps.
The design appears intended to translate a rigid, engineered geometry into an italic display sans, prioritizing punch and a distinctive faceted signature over softness or neutrality.
Distinctive diagonal corner cuts appear consistently on terminals and inside corners, giving the face a cohesive “milled” look. The figures share the same faceted logic, keeping headings and numeric callouts visually unified.
