Sans Faceted Asri 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Campione Neue' by BoxTube Labs, 'Laika Sky' by Ghozai Studio, 'Alma Mater' and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with faceted planes and chamfered joins. Counters are tight and geometric, producing dense silhouettes and a strong, even color across lines. The rhythm is slightly irregular from glyph to glyph, with pragmatic, sign-painter-like construction and occasional notch cuts that create a subtle stencil impression. Numerals match the letterforms with the same hard-edged geometry and broad, squared forms.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, sports branding, and bold logotypes. It can also work for packaging or signage where a rugged, industrial tone is desired, especially when set with ample tracking and used at display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial character that reads as rugged and mechanical. Its faceted construction adds a game/arcade and athletic edge, feeling bold, confident, and workmanlike rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using faceted geometry and clipped corners to create a distinctive, machine-cut look. It prioritizes strong presence and quick recognition in display typography over delicate detail or extended text comfort.
At larger sizes the faceting and corner cuts become a defining texture; at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense shapes can close up, so spacing and size choice matter for clarity. The design maintains consistent stroke weight, relying on geometry and internal cuts—rather than contrast or ornament—for distinction.
