Sans Faceted Elbi 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Editorial Feedback JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Seriguela' by Latinotype, and 'Grand' by North Type (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: sports branding, posters, headlines, packaging, logos, sporty, aggressive, industrial, retro, high-impact, impact, speed, mechanical, display, branding, condensed, oblique, angular, faceted, blocky.
A tightly condensed, oblique sans with heavy, uniform strokes and crisp, planar facets that replace most curves. Corners are cut with consistent chamfers, giving bowls and diagonals a hard, machined geometry. Letterforms are tall and compact with short extenders and a dense rhythm; counters are small and apertures are often narrowed, emphasizing a solid, punchy silhouette. Numerals and capitals share the same angular language, with straight-sided forms and clipped terminals that keep the set visually cohesive at display sizes.
This font is best suited for short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, bold headlines, and packaging where a condensed, forward-leaning wordshape helps convey speed and intensity. It can also work for logos and badges that benefit from angular, faceted construction and strong silhouette recognition.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-driven, combining a no-nonsense industrial edge with a retro athletic flavor. The faceted cuts and forward slant suggest motion and impact, making the font feel assertive and energetic rather than refined or conversational.
The likely intention is to deliver a compact, high-energy display sans that feels engineered and dynamic. By using consistent chamfers and a pronounced slant, the design prioritizes impact, motion cues, and a cohesive angular texture across the alphabet and figures.
The design leans on repeated chamfer angles across curves, joints, and terminals, creating a consistent “cut metal” look. Spacing appears tight and the dark color is prominent, so legibility depends on generous size and breathing room; in longer text blocks it reads as intentionally loud and compressed.
