Sans Faceted Afga 3 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gibstone' by Eko Bimantara, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, 'URW Dock Condensed' by URW Type Foundry, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, monoline sans with sharp, planar cuts that replace curves with chamfered corners and octagonal bowls. Strokes are heavy and even, with squared terminals and consistent facet angles across letters and numerals, creating a rigid, engineered rhythm. Proportions skew slightly condensed, with sturdy capitals and pragmatic lowercase forms that keep counters open while maintaining a blunt, geometric silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, team or athletic branding, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It also performs well for large numeric applications such as jersey numbers, product codes, and bold packaging callouts.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking stenciled equipment labeling, sports jersey numbering, and industrial signage. Its faceted geometry adds a retro-tech flavor—confident, no-nonsense, and purpose-built rather than expressive or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum solidity and legibility through faceted geometry, translating a machined or cut-metal aesthetic into a clean sans framework. The consistent chamfers suggest an aim for a cohesive, system-like look that stays robust at large sizes and in high-contrast applications.
Round characters like O, C, G, and 0 read as clipped octagons, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are steep and clean, reinforcing a mechanical cadence. Numerals are wide and blocky with strong corner cuts, making them visually consistent with the uppercase set.
