Sans Faceted Asma 12 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Alma Mater' and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K, and 'Aeroscope' and 'Emmentaler' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Forms are tightly proportioned with short horizontals, squared counters, and consistent stroke weight, creating a dense, high-ink silhouette. The lowercase follows the same constructed geometry as the caps, with simplified, sturdy shapes and minimal modulation; punctuation and numerals keep the same clipped, octagonal logic and rigid vertical rhythm.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its angular construction can stay crisp: headlines, posters, title cards, and bold logo wordmarks. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from an industrial, engineered look, especially in short phrases or all-caps settings.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a retro tech sensibility. Its faceted, cut-metal geometry reads as engineered and no-nonsense, evoking arcade-era display type, stenciled equipment markings, and rugged signage.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using faceted geometry to suggest machined precision and ruggedness. Its consistent, constructed forms emphasize a strong graphic voice for display use rather than quiet, continuous reading.
The design prioritizes strong silhouettes and crisp corners over smooth readability, so texture becomes more prominent as size decreases. Tight internal spaces in letters like B, P, R, and 8 reinforce a compact, punchy color on the page.
