Sans Faceted Epje 4 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Beau's Varsity' by Beau Williamson, 'Athletico' and 'Athletico Clean' by GRIN3 (Nowak), and 'Hockeynight Serif' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built display face formed from straight strokes and faceted corners, with curves largely replaced by crisp chamfers. Counters are squared and tightly managed, creating compact interior space and strong silhouette clarity. Terminals are blunt and geometric, and many glyphs show small notches and cut-ins that add a stenciled, mechanical rhythm. Overall spacing reads sturdy and even in text, with a distinctly chunky texture and strong horizontal emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where impact and distance legibility matter. It also fits sports graphics, workwear or tool branding, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, geometric presence. Use generous tracking and moderate line lengths to keep the dense texture from feeling crowded.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, mixing industrial toughness with a traditional poster-and-signage feel. Its angular facets and squared apertures give it an athletic, workwear energy that reads confident and slightly retro.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through squared forms and consistent chamfered geometry, evoking sturdy signage traditions while keeping a clean, sans-led construction. The added cut-ins and facets suggest an intention to feel engineered and durable rather than smooth or neutral.
The design leans on repeated chamfer angles across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which helps it feel cohesive at headline sizes. The faceting and tight counters can thicken the overall color in dense settings, favoring short bursts of text over long reading.
