Sans Faceted Elwe 15 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Midsole' by Grype, 'Celluloid JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Alfaqix Algorithm' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A sharply faceted, slanted sans with planar cuts replacing curves and terminals. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with consistent corner chamfers that create octagonal counters and crisp inner angles. The proportions feel compact with a forward-leaning stance, and the rhythm is driven by straight segments, clipped corners, and squared-off joins rather than smooth transitions. Numerals and capitals share the same cut-corner geometry, producing a cohesive, industrial silhouette at display sizes.
Best used for attention-grabbing headlines, posters, and branding where a dynamic, hard-edged voice is desired. It also fits sports and esports identities, product packaging, and UI moments like hero banners or feature callouts where impact matters more than long-form comfort.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, projecting a sporty, high-impact energy with a distinctly technical edge. Its forward slant and hard facets suggest motion, precision, and a rugged, engineered aesthetic suited to bold statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, speed-oriented display voice by translating traditional sans shapes into faceted geometry. The consistent bevel-like cuts and forward slant emphasize momentum and toughness while maintaining a clean, sans structure.
Many glyphs feature polygonal apertures and counters (notably in forms like O/0 and similar round-derived shapes), which keeps the texture tight and mechanical. The combination of strong weight and sharp detailing favors larger sizes where the faceting reads clearly.
