Sans Faceted Asba 8 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, 'Probeta' by deFharo, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a faceted, chamfered construction that replaces curves with flat planes and clipped corners. Strokes stay visually even, producing a sturdy, monolithic texture, while counters are tight and mostly rectilinear. The rhythm is vertical and condensed, with squared terminals and angular joins that keep letterforms crisp at display sizes. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, with sharp inner corners and a strong, uniform color on the page.
Best suited to short, bold applications where its hard-edged facets can be appreciated—headlines, posters, wordmarks, team or event branding, labels, and packaging. It also works well for UI titles, badges, and signage-style graphics where a compact, forceful voice is needed.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a sports-and-industry edge that reads as assertive and high-impact. Its angular geometry also lends a subtle retro-tech flavor, like stenciled signage or arcade-era lettering, making it feel energetic and uncompromising.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, corner-cut construction that suggests durability and speed. By keeping strokes even and forms tightly built, it aims to create a dense, attention-grabbing typographic block for display use.
The faceting is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive “cut metal” silhouette. Tight apertures and compact counters increase density, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect readability in longer text.
