Sans Faceted Elve 9 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Glimp' and 'Glimp Rounded' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, 'Core Sans E' by S-Core, and 'Bockhold' by Stereo Type Haus (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface uses a heavy, slanted construction with crisp, faceted joins that replace curves with short planar segments. Strokes are largely monolinear, and terminals are frequently chamfered, creating an octagonal, cut-metal feel in counters and outer corners (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals). Proportions are compact and sturdy with squared-off shapes, a relatively upright internal structure despite the overall forward slant, and a slightly mechanical rhythm. Lowercase follows the same faceted logic, with simple, robust forms and minimal modulation; apertures tend to be tight and counters are angular rather than round.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, logos, team or event branding, product marks, and packaging where impact and motion are desired. It also fits UI accents or esports/gaming graphics when used sparingly at larger sizes, where the faceted details remain clear.
The overall tone is forceful and high-impact, with a sporty, performance-driven attitude. The sharp facets and forward slant give it a fast, engineered personality that reads as modern, tactical, and slightly aggressive. It suggests motion and precision more than friendliness or warmth.
The design appears intended to translate an industrial, speed-oriented aesthetic into a clean sans structure, using faceted corners to evoke machining and performance. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and a dynamic slant for attention-grabbing display typography.
The faceting is applied consistently across letters and digits, producing a cohesive set that holds up well at display sizes. The slant is strong enough to imply speed, while the broad strokes and clipped corners keep the silhouettes stable and logo-like. Numerals share the same octagonal/cut-corner vocabulary, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel unified.
