Sans Faceted Afdi 6 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Karepe FX' by Differentialtype, 'Interrupt Display Pro' by T4 Foundry, 'Kop End' by Trequartista Studio, and 'Emmentaler' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display sans with straight-sided construction and faceted corners that replace curves with short chamfers. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a compact, punchy texture and strong vertical rhythm. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular or octagonal, and terminals are squared-off with diagonal cuts that give letters a crisp, engineered silhouette. Uppercase forms read tall and rigid, while the lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simplified bowls and sturdy stems.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and identity work that needs a compact, high-impact wordmark. It also fits sports branding, industrial-themed graphics, and signage-style applications where bold, angular letterforms help content stand out.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial energy. Its sharp facets and compact proportions evoke signage, equipment labeling, and bold branding where toughness and clarity are part of the message. The texture feels retro-modern—part arcade, part factory stencil—without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a bold sans into a faceted, machined look: maximizing impact in narrow space while keeping letterforms simple and consistent. The chamfered corners provide a distinctive signature that reads as technical and robust in display typography.
Legibility holds up best at headline sizes where the chamfered geometry is clearly visible; in smaller settings the tight counters and dense spacing can look compressed. The numerals and capitals share a consistent angular language, helping mixed alphanumeric strings feel cohesive.
