Sans Faceted Kobe 6 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kabyta' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'FX Ambasans' by Differentialtype, 'Bank Sans EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'Aguda' by Graviton, and 'Phatthana' by Jipatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal curves that replace rounds with short planar cuts. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing dense interiors and compact counters, especially in letters like B, 8, and 9. Terminals are square or diagonally clipped, with crisp joins and a disciplined, grid-like rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. Overall proportions feel sturdy and somewhat expanded, with broad caps and a straightforward, engineered construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding that benefit from a strong, technical silhouette. It can work well for sports and esports identities, product packaging, and labels where an engineered, rugged look is desired. In longer settings, it’s most effective at larger sizes where the faceting and corner cuts stay clear and intentional.
The faceted geometry and hard corners convey a technical, industrial mood with a competitive, sporty edge. It reads as modern and utilitarian, leaning toward sci‑fi interfaces and equipment marking rather than warmth or delicacy. The bold presence and clipped shapes create an assertive, no-nonsense tone.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, machine-cut aesthetic, turning curves into controlled planes for a crisp, manufactured feel. It prioritizes impact and visual uniformity, aiming for a consistent, modular rhythm that holds up in bold display applications.
Numerals echo the same octagonal logic as the letters, helping maintain a unified texture in alphanumeric strings. The design’s tight counters and squared apertures increase impact at display sizes, while the angular details remain the defining character in continuous text.
