Sans Faceted Afru 6 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Redgar' by Graphite, 'Jales' by Marvadesign, 'Conthey' by ROHH, and 'Marce' and 'Ravane' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, angular sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace most curves with straight segments. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, producing crisp, high-impact letterforms with squared terminals and occasional notched joins. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) resolve into octagonal silhouettes, while counters are tight and geometric, keeping the overall texture dense. The lowercase follows the same rigid construction with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals echo the same beveled, modular rhythm.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, and branding marks. It can work well for sports graphics, game/tech packaging, labels, and signage where a rugged, geometric presence is desired. For longer reading, it’s more effective in larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and assertive, with a mechanical, engineered character. Its faceted geometry suggests hardware markings, sports identity systems, and arcade-era display typography, giving it a tough, no-nonsense voice that reads as contemporary but distinctly stylized.
The design appears intended to translate a strictly geometric, chamfered construction into a cohesive alphabet that stays punchy and legible at display sizes. By minimizing curves and emphasizing repeated facets, it aims to deliver a distinctive, industrial look with strong consistency across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
The font’s strong vertical emphasis and repeated chamfers create a consistent, grid-like rhythm across words, especially in all caps. Apertures and counters are relatively small, which boosts impact in headlines but can make long passages feel dense. Letterforms like S, Z, and 2 lean heavily into the faceted construction, reinforcing the type’s signature angularity.
