Sans Faceted Aksy 3 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Hanley Pro' by District 62 Studio, 'Metral' by The Northern Block, and 'Crepes' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters and bowls read as squared or octagonal forms, with consistent chamfers creating a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Vertical strokes are firm and even, diagonals are clean and steep, and joins tend to be blunt, emphasizing a constructed, modular feel. The lowercase follows the same faceted logic, with single-storey forms and compact, blocky terminals; numerals echo the octagonal geometry (notably 0/8/9) for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short-callout typography where the faceted construction can be appreciated. It also fits game UI, esports/event graphics, and product/tech packaging that benefits from a hard-edged, engineered voice. For extended reading, generous tracking and ample line spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, evoking machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era digital aesthetics. Its sharp cuts and uniform heft communicate strength and precision rather than warmth or handwriting-like personality.
The font appears designed to translate a techno-industrial, fabricated aesthetic into a readable alphabet by systematically substituting curves with chamfered planes. Its consistent octagonal geometry suggests an intention toward strong visual identity and high-impact display use across letters and numerals.
The stepped chamfers and squared inner shapes keep letterforms distinct at display sizes, while the dense black texture can become visually busy in long passages. The design’s consistent corner treatment provides strong brandable character, especially in short words and all-caps settings.
