Sans Faceted Abdes 11 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Magnitudes' by DuoType, 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Monorama' by Indian Type Foundry, and 'Refolter' by Letterena Studios (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Outer contours and interior counters often read as octagonal, giving letters like O, Q, and D a cut-corner, sign-like geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, tight apertures, and compact bowls, creating a dense, poster-ready texture. Lowercase maintains the same faceted construction with simplified forms and sturdy stems, keeping the overall rhythm uniform and impact-focused.
Best suited to headlines, posters, wordmarks, and branding where strong silhouettes and high impact are priorities. It works well for sports-themed graphics, industrial or tech-adjacent identities, packaging, and signage-style applications, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceting reads clearly.
The sharp, cut-corner construction conveys an industrial and athletic tone—confident, tough, and utilitarian. Its geometry feels engineered and signage-inspired, with a slight retro arcade/scoreboard flavor that reads as bold and energetic rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through a disciplined, straight-edged construction and a consistent system of chamfered corners. By turning round shapes into faceted forms, it creates a distinctive, reproducible look that stays legible while projecting a rugged, engineered personality.
The typeface’s distinctive character comes from its systematic corner chamfers and flattened curves, which stay consistent across letters and numerals. Counters are relatively small and angular, and diagonals are used sparingly but decisively (notably in forms like K, X, and the digit 4), reinforcing a rigid, mechanical voice.
