Sans Faceted Abrak 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Hemispheres' by Runsell Type, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display design built from straight strokes and clipped corners that turn curves into planar facets. The forms lean on octagonal construction—round letters like O/C/G/Q become squared-off with chamfered joints—creating a rigid, machined rhythm. Strokes are largely uniform and terminals are hard and flat, with counters kept fairly tight, which boosts impact at larger sizes. The lowercase mirrors the same geometry and feels closer to a reduced-scale companion than a calligraphic text lowercase, keeping the overall texture consistent and dense.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence and compact width help fit more characters into a line—headlines, posters, event graphics, sports or team-style branding, and bold product packaging. It also works well for short UI labels or navigation elements when a tough, engineered voice is desired, provided sizes are large enough to keep the tight counters clear.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its faceted construction suggests engineered surfaces and stamped signage, giving it a slightly retro arcade/scoreboard energy while remaining clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint while maintaining strict geometric consistency. By replacing curves with crisp facets, it aims for a modern-industrial look that remains highly legible in short bursts and creates a distinctive, logo-friendly silhouette.
Distinctive features include the consistently chamfered corners across caps, lowercase, and numerals, plus squared apertures that favor structure over softness. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, reading like cut metal stencils without actual stencil breaks, and punctuation is similarly blunt and geometric.
