Sans Faceted Ufpu 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Oso Sans' by Adobe, 'Nasional Sans' by Jetsmax Studio, 'Obvia Condensed' by Typefolio, and 'Jesaya' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans built from planar facets rather than smooth curves, with corners clipped into octagonal-like forms throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick and largely monolinear, producing dense, dark word shapes with minimal internal counters. Terminals are square and abrupt, joins are tight, and curved letters are rendered as straight segments, creating a crisp, machined geometry. Spacing feels compact and the overall rhythm is vertical and sturdy, keeping lines of text visually locked-up and forceful.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its dense weight and angular silhouette can carry visual emphasis—headlines, poster titles, brand marks, labels, and bold signage. It also works well for sports or industrial-themed graphics where a rigid, faceted texture is desirable.
The face reads as assertive and utilitarian, with a hard-edged, engineered tone. Its faceted construction suggests toughness and precision, lending a sporty, tactical attitude that feels at home in high-impact, attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using faceted geometry to replace curves and create a rugged, fabricated aesthetic. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistency across glyphs for display-driven typography.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (C, G, O, Q and numerals), reinforcing a unified, cut-from-plate look. The lowercase maintains the same angular language and weight as the uppercase, supporting cohesive mixed-case setting, while the numerals echo the same clipped-corner construction for a uniform display palette.
