Sans Faceted Afva 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Festivo Letters' by Ahmet Altun, 'Bergk' by Designova, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from planar facets rather than curves. Strokes maintain a consistent weight with crisp chamfered corners, producing polygonal counters in letters like O, D, and P. The glyphs are tightly proportioned with minimal rounding, short apertures, and squared terminals; diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are steep and sturdy, reinforcing a dense, vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry, with octagonal-style bowls and straight-sided forms that keep the texture uniform in headlines.
Best suited to display settings where bold, compact letterforms need to hit quickly—posters, event headlines, team or esports branding, and punchy logo wordmarks. It also fits UI labels or packaging callouts when a hard-edged, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a mechanical, engineered feel. Its sharp edges and compact stance read as assertive and energetic, suggesting sporty intensity and a slightly retro digital or arcade flavor.
The design appears intended to translate the sturdiness of condensed grotesque lettering into a faceted, polygonal construction, maximizing impact and consistency at larger sizes. The clipped corners and straight-sided curves prioritize a rugged, manufactured aesthetic while keeping forms highly legible in headline use.
The faceting creates distinctive internal shapes—especially in bowls and joints—so the font’s character comes through strongly even in short words. Spacing appears tuned for impact rather than airiness, giving lines a solid, poster-like block of color.
