Sans Faceted Epme 8 is a very bold, narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cord Nuvo' by Designova, 'MARLIN' by Komet & Flicker, and 'Bergam' by vuuuds (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, signage, industrial, poster-ready, punchy, retro, rugged, maximum impact, distinctive texture, space economy, hard-edged display, condensed, angular, chiseled, faceted, blocky.
This typeface uses heavy, condensed letterforms built from planar facets rather than smooth curves, producing a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Strokes show pronounced contrast with sharp internal angles and flattened, wedge-like terminals that give counters a cut-out feel. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tight sidebearings and sturdy stems that hold up well at large sizes. Uppercase and numerals feel especially solid and geometric, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, sturdy structure with minimal detailing.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, branding marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It performs well when you want dense, compact words with strong contrast and angular character, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceting is clearly visible.
The font conveys a bold, industrial tone with a slightly retro, poster-era attitude. Its faceted construction reads as mechanical and rugged, suggesting stamped metal, carved signage, or hard-edged display typography. The overall impression is assertive and attention-grabbing rather than subtle or bookish.
The design appears intended as a compact display face that maximizes impact through heavy weight, tight proportions, and a distinctive faceted construction. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a textured, cut-steel look to help typography stand out in attention-driven layouts.
Because many curves are expressed as angled facets, round letters (like O, C, G, and 0) take on a squared, cut geometry that increases visual texture. The dense black shapes and sharp joints create a strong figure/ground effect, but also make fine spacing and small sizes more challenging than with smoother designs.
