Sans Faceted Asvy 10 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ramsey' by Associated Typographics, 'Magnitudes' by DuoType, 'Rice' by Font Kitchen, 'Kairos Sans' by Monotype, 'Reznik' by The Northern Block, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with short planar cuts, creating an octagonal silhouette across many glyphs. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be small and squared-off, contributing to a dense, punchy texture. Uppercase forms read as compact and geometric, while the lowercase mixes sturdy, simplified shapes with occasional traditional cues (notably the double-story a and g), keeping the overall rhythm tight and assertive. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with broad, stable forms and cut corners that reinforce the mechanical, sign-like feel.
Best suited for display applications where impact and quick recognition matter: headlines, posters, team or event graphics, apparel marks, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short supporting lines and labels, but longer text blocks will read more comfortably with added spacing and larger sizes.
The faceted geometry and massed black shapes give the font a tough, no-nonsense voice associated with athletics, machinery, and utilitarian labeling. Its angular cuts add a retro, varsity-adjacent character while still feeling contemporary and engineered.
The design appears aimed at delivering a rugged, high-impact sans that evokes cut-metal or stamped-lettering through consistent chamfered corners and compact, powerful proportions. The inclusion of more conventional lowercase structures suggests it is intended to remain broadly usable while preserving a distinctive faceted identity.
Because the counters are relatively enclosed and the forms are strongly squared, the font benefits from generous tracking and adequate size to preserve clarity, especially in dense paragraphs. The distinctive chamfers provide immediate recognition in short bursts of text and at display sizes.
