Sans Faceted Asbe 2 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'British Vehicle JNL' and 'School Activities JNL' by Jeff Levine, '3x5' by K-Type, and 'Radley' by Variatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A rigid, block-built sans with sharp chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal counters that replace curves with planar cuts. Strokes maintain a consistent, heavy thickness, producing a strong, modular rhythm and a compact, engineered texture in text. Terminals are mostly flat or diagonally clipped, and the overall geometry favors squared forms with minimal overshoot, keeping lines crisp and grid-friendly.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, identity marks, packaging accents, and interface labels. It also works well for signage, numbering systems, and on-screen elements that benefit from a sturdy, grid-aligned look.
The tone is mechanical and game-like, evoking equipment labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and retro digital display aesthetics. Its faceted shapes feel hardened and tactical, reading as purposeful rather than friendly or decorative.
Designed to translate a geometric, faceted construction into a highly legible, repeatable set of forms that stays consistent across letters and numerals. The emphasis appears to be on a rugged, technical voice with strong presence and clean reproduction at display sizes.
The figures mirror the same clipped-corner construction as the letters, creating a cohesive alphanumeric set suited to identifiers and codes. The lowercase retains the angular construction rather than becoming calligraphic, which helps maintain a consistent voice across mixed-case settings.
