Sans Faceted Afpy 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Coastal' by Arkitype, 'Cord Nuvo' by Designova, 'Highman' by Eko Bimantara, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Ggx89' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with sharp planar facets replacing curves and consistent chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and uniform, producing dense, dark word shapes with minimal internal counters. The proportions are condensed with tall verticals and tight apertures; round letters like O/C/G are rendered as octagonal forms, and terminals are squared off for a rigid, mechanical rhythm. Numerals follow the same straight-sided, cut-corner construction, with a robust, sign-like presence.
Best suited to display work where a compact, high-impact look is desired: headlines, posters, titles, sports-related branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short bursts of text such as labels, badges, and UI callouts when set generously with sufficient size and spacing.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, industrial feel and a subtle collegiate/athletic voice. Its faceted geometry and compressed stance give it a confident, commanding presence suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint by combining a heavy, uniform stroke with a distinctive faceted construction. The consistent chamfers and straight-sided curves suggest an intention to evoke engineered, hard-edged materials and classic sign or athletic lettering in a modern, simplified form.
The heavy weight and narrow set create strong vertical emphasis and pronounced texture in lines of text; spacing appears tight and the dark color can fill in at smaller sizes. The consistent corner cuts help maintain clarity in large display settings while keeping the style cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
