Sans Faceted Buhe 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Heavy Duty' by Gerald Gallo, 'Informational Sign JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Volcano' by Match & Kerosene, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace most curves with clipped facets. Strokes are uniformly thick and terminals are blunt, producing compact counters (notably in B, O, P, R) and a dense color in text. The lowercase follows the same angular logic, with squared bowls and short, sturdy arms; round letters such as o/c/e read as octagonal forms. Numerals echo a jersey-like build with strong verticals, squared apertures, and clipped diagonals, keeping the overall rhythm rigid and mechanical.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and title treatments where its angular facets can read clearly. It also fits sports branding, badges, labels, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, high-impact display face.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sports-and-industry edge created by the faceted corners and weighty, black mass. It feels assertive and no-nonsense, leaning toward a retro, badge-like presence rather than a neutral everyday voice.
The design appears intended to translate the look of cut or machined forms into a simplified, highly legible display alphabet—prioritizing impact, uniform strength, and an unmistakably faceted silhouette.
The faceting is applied consistently across the set, giving a cohesive octagonal silhouette language and a strong sign-paint/placard feel. The heavy weight and tight internal spaces favor large sizes where the angular details stay crisp.
