Sans Faceted Afny 3 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Brohero' by Alit Design, 'FS Industrie' by Fontsmith, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, and 'DIN Next' and 'DIN Next Paneuropean' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display sans built from crisp planar cuts rather than smooth curves. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, and bowls and diagonals resolve into chamfered facets that create a hard-edged rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are compact and often polygonal, producing a dense texture in words; letterforms stay upright with a steady cap line and a straightforward, no-nonsense silhouette.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where the dense weight and angular facets can be appreciated. It works well for posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and bold branding in contexts that benefit from an industrial or sporty attitude; for extended reading, the tight counters and strong texture can feel intense.
The faceted construction gives the face a tough, engineered tone that reads as confident and utilitarian. Its compressed proportions and sharp cuts add a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of stenciled signage and bold headline typography, with an energetic, competitive edge.
This font appears designed to translate a geometric, machined aesthetic into a compact, attention-grabbing display face. The consistent thick strokes and faceted curves prioritize visual punch and a distinctive silhouette over softness or neutrality.
Curved characters (like C, G, O, S) are rendered as multi-angled shapes, which emphasizes a chiseled look and keeps the texture consistent. The numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, maintaining strong presence at display sizes.
