Sans Faceted Vapa 2 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Murs Gothic' by Kobuzan and 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted, planar strokes that replace curves with angled cuts. Forms are built from straight segments with octagonal rounding on bowls (notably in O, C, G, and 0) and squared terminals throughout. Counters are tight and often rectangular, producing a dense texture; diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y are thick and steep, reinforcing a machined, armored silhouette. Lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simplified, sturdy shapes and occasional spur-like cut-ins, while numerals echo the same beveled, stencil-like geometry.
Best suited to display applications where bold geometry is an advantage: posters, headlines, title cards, esports or sports branding, game UI/menus, and industrial or technical labeling. It also works well for short, punchy lines and numerals where the faceted shapes can read as deliberate styling.
The overall tone feels mechanical and assertive, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade cabinets, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its hard facets and compact inner spaces project strength, precision, and a utilitarian, engineered character rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, faceted construction language—evoking machined parts and digital-era signage. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent angular detailing to create a distinctive, high-energy display voice.
The font’s visual rhythm comes from repeated chamfers and consistent stroke heft, creating a crisp, modular feel across caps, lowercase, and figures. Openings and apertures are deliberately narrow, which increases impact at display sizes but can make small-size reading feel dense.
