Sans Faceted Abbus 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Empera' by BoxTube Labs, 'Horesport' by Mightyfire, 'Monbloc' by Rui Nogueira, 'Getafe' by Trequartista Studio, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, monoline display sans built from crisp, planar cuts that replace curves with straight segments and clipped corners. Counters tend toward rectangular and octagonal shapes, and bowls, shoulders, and terminals are consistently faceted, creating a hard-edged silhouette. The letterforms feel compact and sturdy with squared-off proportions and tight interior spaces, while maintaining clear separation between stems and counters for legibility at larger sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and identity work where a strong, angular voice is desired. It can also serve well for packaging, sports or event graphics, and on-screen titles that benefit from a rugged, faceted display style. For extended small-size text, its dense counters and heavy color are more likely to shine in short bursts than in long paragraphs.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a distinctly retro, tech-forward flavor. Its sharp geometry and dense rhythm evoke arcade and sci‑fi interfaces, as well as industrial labeling and athletic or team-style graphics. The faceted construction reads energetic and no-nonsense rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a simplified, machined geometry—favoring straight cuts, clipped corners, and solid mass for a distinctive silhouette. Its consistent faceting suggests a deliberate aim for a techno-industrial display look that remains readable while feeling stylized.
Diagonal strokes (notably in K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) are rendered as straight, steep segments with matching corner chamfers, reinforcing the engineered look. Numerals follow the same angular logic, producing strong, emblem-like figures that hold up well in bold headlines. The lowercase set mirrors the uppercase’s geometric vocabulary, helping maintain a consistent texture in mixed-case settings.
