Sans Faceted Orly 3 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans with sharply faceted, chamfered corners that replace most curves with short planar segments. Strokes are monolinear and square-ended, producing an even, mechanical color across text. Round forms (O, C, G, 0) read as octagonal/rectilinear constructions, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and crisp with minimal optical softening. The lowercase mixes simple geometric builds with occasional squared bowls and clipped terminals, giving the texture a slightly modular rhythm rather than purely neo-grotesque neutrality.
Best suited to headlines, short text, and display settings where the faceted construction can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, tech branding, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for UI labels and dashboards when a crisp, engineered voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is technical and engineered, with a distinctly modern, hardware-like crispness. Its chamfered geometry evokes digital displays, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interface graphics, lending a confident, no-nonsense attitude with a subtle athletic edge.
The design appears intended to translate a clean sans skeleton into a faceted, chamfered system that feels precise and manufactured. By standardizing corners and keeping stroke weight even, it aims for strong legibility while projecting a contemporary, tech-forward personality.
In running text, the consistent stroke weight and frequent corners create a lively, pixel-adjacent sparkle, especially at smaller sizes where the chamfers become prominent. The numerals and capitals feel particularly signage-forward, while the lowercase introduces a more casual, contemporary texture without losing the constructed feel.
