Sans Faceted Etwi 4 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to '946 Latin' by Roman Type and 'Facto' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A sharply faceted, oblique sans with planar cuts that replace curves throughout. Strokes are mostly uniform and end in crisp, angled terminals, giving counters and outer shapes an octagonal, cut-metal feel (notably in O/0, C/G, and the rounded lowercase). Proportions lean compact and upright in the caps, while the lowercase shows a tall, efficient x-height and tight, engineered apertures; overall spacing reads slightly condensed and deliberate. Numerals follow the same chamfered construction, with a squared-off 0 and angular joins that keep the texture consistent in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its angular construction can be read clearly: headlines, posters, product naming, sports or esports identities, and technical or industrial branding. It can also work for UI labels, dashboards, and control-panel style graphics when a crisp, engineered voice is desired, though long-form text may feel intense due to the dense, dark texture.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and machine-made—more “precision equipment” than “friendly interface.” The slanted stance and hard facets suggest motion and performance, while the consistent geometry adds a tactical, utilitarian edge.
The font appears designed to translate geometric, faceted letterforms into an oblique sans that feels contemporary and performance-driven. By systematically replacing curves with chamfered planes and keeping stroke weight even, it aims for a cohesive, mechanical aesthetic that stays recognizable across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design relies on repeated chamfers and straight segments to create a cohesive rhythm across both cases, producing a strong, dark typographic color in paragraphs. The oblique angle is prominent enough to read as purposeful styling rather than incidental slant, reinforcing a sense of speed and direction.
