Sans Faceted Ipmo 4 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'Moderna Sans' by Latinotype, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Predige' and 'Predige Rounded' by Type Dynamic, and 'Signal' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with crisp chamfered corners and faceted outlines that replace most curves with short planar cuts. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing sturdy, evenly weighted letterforms. Counters tend to be squared-off and slightly octagonal, and terminals are clipped rather than rounded, creating a hard-edged rhythm across text. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, constructed feel, and the numerals echo the same cut-corner geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where a strong silhouette is beneficial, such as headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and packaging callouts. It also works well for signage and labeling where an industrial or technical voice is desired and the faceted geometry can be a key part of the visual identity.
The sharp facets and dense color give the font a rugged, engineered tone that reads as technical and disciplined. Its compact stance and angular construction also suggest sporty labeling and utilitarian equipment graphics, with a subtle retro-digital flavor.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum solidity and a distinctive angular signature while staying readable. The consistent chamfering and squared counters suggest an intention to evoke machined, cut-metal or engineered surfaces in a clean sans framework.
The design maintains clear interior openings despite its dense strokes, and the repeated chamfer motif provides strong visual consistency from caps through figures. In running text, the hard corners and tight proportions create a brisk, mechanical cadence that stands out more than a neutral grotesk.
