Sans Faceted Anbe 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Outlast' by BoxTube Labs, 'FX Gerundal' by Differentialtype, 'Chortler' by FansyType, 'Flintstock' by Hustle Supply Co, and 'Conthey' by ROHH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-based sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets and octagonal counters. Terminals are squared and often chamfered, producing a consistent, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Letterforms are compact with broad shoulders and strong horizontals, and round shapes like O, Q, and 8 are rendered as angular, inset forms that emphasize the faceted construction. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic, staying sturdy and utilitarian rather than calligraphic, with simple bowls and tight apertures.
This font performs best in headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, angular silhouette is desired. It suits sports and team marks, product packaging, signage, and game or tech-themed graphics where legibility at larger sizes and a rugged, machined personality are priorities.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, sports titling, and arcade-era display type. Its sharp geometry and emphatic weight create an assertive, high-impact voice that reads as mechanical and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a simplified, monoline construction and sharp chamfered geometry. By systematically translating curves into facets, it creates a distinctive, robust display voice while keeping forms consistent and easy to set in all caps or mixed case.
In longer lines the dense black texture and angled corners create a pronounced, patterned color on the page, which favors display sizes over small text. The faceting remains consistent across punctuation and numerals, helping headings and short bursts of copy feel cohesive and intentionally engineered.
