Sans Faceted Ufpo 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Midfield' by Kreuk Type Foundry, 'Berber' by Letterbox, 'First Prize' by Letterhead Studio-VG, and 'Chandler Mountain' by Mega Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with strongly chamfered corners and faceted joins that replace curves with straight, planar segments. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-impact letterforms. Counters tend toward squarish or octagonal shapes, and terminals are clipped rather than rounded, giving the design a hard-edged rhythm. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with tight interior spaces and simplified geometry that stays visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, bold settings where impact matters: posters, display headlines, athletic branding, event graphics, labels, and wayfinding. It also works well for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a rugged, angular silhouette. For long text, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity due to the tight counters.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with an athletic, poster-like energy. Its angular construction reads as engineered and utilitarian, evoking scoreboard lettering, industrial labeling, and bold headline graphics. The font projects confidence and urgency more than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch using a disciplined, faceted geometry. By standardizing angles and clipping corners, it creates a distinctive, hard-edged identity that remains cohesive across the character set while emphasizing solidity and legibility in display contexts.
The faceting is especially apparent in curved letters and numerals, where diagonals create an octagonal silhouette. Dots and small details are kept simple and square-ish, reinforcing the blunt, mechanical voice. At smaller sizes the compact counters can darken, while larger sizes highlight the distinctive chopped geometry.
