Sans Faceted Abgad 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Campione Neue' by BoxTube Labs, 'Basketball' by Evo Studio, 'Mika Sans' by Ghozai Studio, 'Vintage Varsity' by Grant Beaudry, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, with consistent stroke thickness and squared terminals that create a rigid, modular rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and tight, while lowercase is simplified and sturdy; details like the single-storey “a” and the firm, slab-like shoulders reinforce the engineered feel. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with the “8” and “9” showing boxy bowls and sharp internal notches.
Best suited to display roles where impact and a hard-edged voice are desired: headlines, posters, logos, labels, and high-contrast signage. It can also work for UI badges, game graphics, and short bursts of text where its compact width helps fit tight spaces.
The overall tone is forceful and mechanical, with a distinctly technical, industrial edge. Its faceted construction and compact spacing read as functional and no-nonsense, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and sci‑fi or arcade-era display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient voice with a machined, faceted geometry—prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent, constructed rhythm over softness or calligraphic nuance.
Diagonal joins are kept minimal and purposeful, so letters like V, W, X, and Y feel chiseled rather than drawn. The face maintains strong silhouette clarity at large sizes, but the tight apertures and dense counters suggest more careful sizing and tracking for continuous reading.
