Sans Faceted Dobu 1 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Midfield' by Kreuk Type Foundry, 'Sicret' by Mans Greback, 'Enaoko' by Marvadesign, and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular display sans built from straight strokes with chamfered corners and faceted, planar cuts replacing curves. Counters are small and mostly polygonal, and many joins create sharp internal angles that produce a compact, armored silhouette. Stems are thick and consistent, terminals are blunt or diagonally clipped, and several lowercase forms echo uppercase construction for a strong, uniform rhythm. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with tight interior spaces and crisp geometric edges that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited for large-scale headlines, posters, and branding where strong shapes and immediate recognition are the priority. It works well for sports and team graphics, streetwear/apparel marks, bold packaging, and industrial or tech-adjacent identities. For extended text, it is likely most effective in short bursts (titles, labels, calls to action) due to its dense counters and emphatic weight.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone with an athletic, scoreboard-like presence. Its faceted cuts and blocky massing feel mechanical and assertive, suggesting strength, competition, and rugged branding. The overall voice is bold and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, high-impact display voice using faceted geometry in place of curves. Its consistent chamfers and compact counters suggest a focus on bold signage and identity work, aiming for a distinctive, machined look that remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Diagonal corner cuts create a distinct octagonal motif across letters and numerals, giving the set a cohesive, engineered look. The lowercase includes several simplified, near-monoline constructions that reinforce the all-caps energy in mixed-case settings, while punctuation and figures maintain the same clipped, geometric logic.
