Sans Faceted Asfu 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Ramsey' by Associated Typographics, 'Britva' by Juraj Chrastina, 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, and 'Balbek Pro' by Valentino Vergan (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward sans with sharp, planar facets that replace curves with clipped corners and slanted cuts. Strokes are consistently thick and monolinear, producing dense, dark silhouettes with tight interior counters and short apertures. The outlines show deliberate irregularity—subtle tilts, uneven shoulders, and varied edge angles—creating a lively, hand-cut rhythm rather than strict geometric precision. Lowercase forms are compact with a tall x-height and simplified bowls, while numerals follow the same blocky, cut-paper construction for a cohesive set.
Works best for display settings such as posters, cover art, packaging, and bold brand marks where texture and attitude are desired. It can also suit short UI labels or badges when used large enough to preserve the carved-in facets and counter shapes.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a rough-cut, energetic presence that feels informal and attention-grabbing. Its jagged facets and slightly wobbly stance suggest a DIY, comic, or poster sensibility rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, faceted construction—evoking cut-out lettering or chiseled signage—while staying straightforward and sans in structure for broad, headline-oriented usability.
At larger sizes the distinctive edge cuts and angular counters read as a defining texture; in smaller sizes the tight counters and crowded joins can darken quickly, so generous spacing and short line lengths help maintain clarity. Capitals are particularly strong for impact headlines, while mixed-case text remains expressive but visually busy.
