Sans Faceted Afvy 8 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Pen Nib Square JNL' by Jeff Levine and 'Treadstone' by Rook Supply (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped, faceted corners in place of smooth curves. The forms are largely monoline in feel, with hard chamfers creating octagonal bowls (notably in O/0/8/9) and squared counters throughout. Uppercase letters are tall and condensed with tight apertures, while the lowercase keeps a similarly narrow footprint with simplified, geometric constructions; round letters become rectilinear, and terminals end in flat cuts. Numerals follow the same planar logic, producing a uniform, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding that needs a loud, compact wordmark with an industrial edge. It also fits sports graphics, gaming/tech UI accents, and signage where high visual impact and a rugged geometric voice are desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a mechanical, engineered character that reads as sporty and tech-forward. Its sharp facets and compact rhythm suggest toughness and efficiency rather than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive faceted geometry. By replacing curves with planar cuts, it aims for a modern, fabricated aesthetic that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
The faceting is applied consistently across curves, giving the font a distinctive “machined” silhouette. In running text the dense spacing and heavy mass produce a strong, poster-like block, making it most comfortable at larger sizes where the angular details can be seen.
