Sans Faceted Elra 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'European Sans Pro' by Bülent Yüksel, 'Burlingame' by Monotype, and 'Fact' by ParaType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-slanted display sans built from sharp planes and chamfered corners rather than true curves. Forms are constructed with faceted geometry, producing clipped terminals, angled joins, and octagonal counters in letters like O and Q. Stroke weight stays largely consistent, while the slant and internal notches create a dynamic rhythm. Capitals read tall and commanding; lowercase is compact and utilitarian with sturdy bowls and short, efficient extenders, keeping overall texture dense and punchy.
Best suited for impactful headlines, posters, and branding that needs immediate punch—especially sports, motorsport, gaming, or industrial-themed graphics. It also works well on apparel and merchandise where the slanted, cut-corner forms reinforce motion and toughness. For long passages of text, the dense texture and faceting are more effective as accents than as continuous reading.
The faceted construction and strong oblique stance give the face an assertive, high-energy tone with a sporty, mechanical edge. Its angularity feels tough and performance-oriented, leaning toward action, competition, and rugged branding rather than refinement or softness.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, kinetic impression through an oblique stance and systematically chamfered shapes, translating traditional sans structures into a faceted, engineered aesthetic. The consistent planar cuts suggest an intention to feel modern, rugged, and logo-friendly across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design relies on consistent corner cuts to unify the set, and the numerals follow the same octagonal, cut-corner logic for a cohesive headline palette. The bold black shapes create strong silhouette recognition at larger sizes, while the many facets can add visual noise as sizes get smaller.
