Sans Faceted Type 9 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ultimatum MFV' by Comicraft, 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Ordax' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, block-built sans with consistent stroke weight and sharply chamfered corners that turn curves into planar facets. Counters are mostly squarish and tight, with small openings and clipped terminals that create an octagonal rhythm across rounds and diagonals. The forms feel tall and compact, with sturdy verticals, crisp joins, and a generally uniform texture in text despite slight width differences between glyphs.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and compact titling where a strong, engineered look is desired. It also fits sports and team branding, packaging callouts, and signage or labels that benefit from sturdy, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking practical marking systems and engineered signage. Its faceted geometry adds a sporty, competitive edge that reads as energetic and assertive rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, using chamfered, faceted construction to keep shapes consistent and robust. It prioritizes a mechanical, sign-paint/industrial-marking feel over softness, making the geometry and rhythm the primary stylistic signature.
The font’s clipped corners and narrow apertures become a defining texture at smaller sizes, where the angularity remains legible but can feel dense in long passages. Figures follow the same faceted logic, matching the uppercase for a cohesive display palette.
