Sans Faceted Abnaj 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Chamelton' by Alex Khoroshok, 'Eckhardt Poster Display JNL' and 'Lobby Card JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Amsi Grotesk' by Stawix, 'Octin College' by Typodermic, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with faceted construction: curves are consistently replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing an octagonal, cut-from-plate feel. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with compact counters and crisp interior angles that stay open enough for headline use. Proportions lean wide and squat in many caps, while the lowercase keeps sturdy verticals and simplified joints; overall spacing reads fairly tight and dense, emphasizing mass and silhouette clarity.
Best suited for short, bold settings where silhouette and texture matter: headlines, posters, sports and team-style branding, apparel graphics, badges, and packaging. It can also work for signage-style display lines, but the dense weight and faceted counters make it less ideal for long body text at small sizes.
The faceted geometry and blunt weight convey a confident, no-nonsense tone with a sporty, industrial edge. Its sharp corners and compact forms suggest impact and durability, evoking varsity and utility signage associations without ornamental softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, faceted shapes that translate well to large-scale applications and bold reproduction. By standardizing chamfers and replacing curves with planar facets, it aims for a cohesive, rugged display look with strong recognizability.
The numerals follow the same chamfered logic, with angular bowls and clipped terminals that keep figures visually consistent alongside the letters. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable, and rounded letters (O, Q, G, S) maintain a distinctive polygonal rhythm that defines the font’s personality.
