Sans Faceted Elho 17 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Enamela' by K-Type, 'Gafien' by Marvadesign, 'Prahota' by Objectype, 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Refuel' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, right-leaning display sans built from crisp, planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are broad and largely uniform, with frequent chamfered corners, clipped terminals, and occasional pointed joins that create a cut-metal silhouette. Counters are compact and geometric (often with squared or angled apertures), and the overall rhythm is tight and forward-driving, with condensed proportions and strong diagonals that keep word shapes energetic at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, event posters, sports and esports branding, product marks, and packaging callouts. It also works well for title cards, cover art, and signage where strong diagonals and faceted shapes can carry from a distance.
The tone is bold and kinetic, projecting speed, impact, and a competitive edge. Its faceted construction and hard angles suggest machinery, motorsport, and action-oriented branding, with a slightly retro, arcade/poster sensibility when set in all caps.
The design appears intended to deliver a compressed, high-energy display voice with a machined, faceted geometry—prioritizing immediate impact and a sense of motion over long-form readability.
Uppercase forms read especially sturdy and emblematic, while lowercase maintains the same angular language with simplified bowls and sharp shoulders. Numerals are similarly chunky and cut-in, designed to hold up in big, high-contrast settings. The slant and tight spacing can make extended text feel dense, but it amplifies punch in short bursts.
