Sans Faceted Asfa 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Heavy Duty' by Gerald Gallo, 'NT Gagarin' by Novo Typo, 'Hemispheres' by Runsell Type, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps–friendly sans built from crisp, planar facets rather than smooth curves. Forms are largely rectangular with chamfered corners, square counters, and straight-sided bowls, creating a carved, modular feel. Strokes stay consistently thick, terminals are blunt, and apertures tend to be tight, producing dense word shapes. Lowercase echoes the same rigid geometry with a tall x-height and short extenders, while figures are similarly block-constructed for strong visual continuity.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It also fits interface titling, game/tech visuals, and short callouts where the angular, machined look reinforces a bold, modern message.
The overall tone is tough and engineered—more like cut metal, arcade UI, or tactical labeling than editorial typography. Its sharp facets and compact counters give it an energetic, slightly aggressive voice that reads as modern, utilitarian, and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a faceted, industrial geometry—prioritizing strong silhouettes and a uniform, engineered texture for branding and display typography.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and narrow openings can fill in visually, while at display sizes the faceting becomes a defining texture. The rhythm is steady and monoline, with intentional squareness that keeps lines looking uniform and compact.
