Sans Faceted Anwi 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Baru Sans' by Kereatype, 'Balthis' by Ksenia Belobrova, 'Frygia' by Stawix, and 'Oyko' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, with curves consistently replaced by planar facets. Counters tend toward octagonal forms (notably in O/0 and rounded letters), and joins create a compact, blocky silhouette with minimal contrast. Terminals are blunt and squared, and many characters show diagonally clipped corners that produce a rugged, engineered rhythm. Lowercase remains robust and simplified, with single-storey forms and squared bowls, keeping word shapes dense and highly uniform.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact settings where the faceted construction can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, sports and team branding, product packaging, and bold interface labels. It works especially well when paired with clean layouts and ample spacing to keep dense forms readable.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, arcade-like edge that feels engineered rather than friendly. Its faceted geometry reads as tactical and energetic, suggesting impact, durability, and motion even in static text.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch through a consistent system of chamfered corners and polygonal curves, creating an industrial display voice that stays coherent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The font’s distinctive identity comes from consistent corner clipping and polygonal counters, which adds texture at large sizes but can make similar shapes (e.g., O/0 and other rounded letters) feel closely related. Numerals share the same angular logic, reinforcing a cohesive, signage-ready set.
