Sans Faceted Asli 3 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Enamela' by K-Type, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'MARLIN' by Komet & Flicker, 'Treadstone' by Rook Supply, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Letterforms are tall and tightly set with squared counters and strong vertical emphasis, creating a rigid, engineered rhythm. Terminals and joins tend to resolve into chamfered, octagonal-like shapes, while bowls and rounds (O, C, G, 0) read as polygonal forms. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic, keeping a sturdy, utilitarian structure with minimal modulation and crisp interior cut-ins.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as posters, large headlines, sports branding, event graphics, and bold signage where the angular silhouettes can read quickly. It also fits packaging or labels that want a rugged, industrial edge, especially when set in short phrases or stacked lines.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a tough, industrial voice that also suggests sports signage and uniform lettering. Its faceted geometry adds a retro-machined feel—confident, commanding, and intentionally mechanical rather than friendly or delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through compressed proportions and consistent faceting, evoking stenciled or machined lettering without literal stencil breaks. Its geometry prioritizes clarity and toughness, making it feel purpose-built for display typography with a strong, utilitarian character.
The design maintains consistent corner treatments across letters and numerals, helping long lines feel cohesive even at large sizes. The squared apertures and compact counters emphasize impact over softness, and the punctuation-free sample text shows it holding a strong, poster-like presence in headline settings.
