Sans Faceted Ablig 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY' by Andrew Footit, 'King Wood' by Canada Type, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, 'Hurdle' by Umka Type, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with sharp chamfered corners that turn most curves into crisp facets. Strokes are consistently thick and the overall silhouette is compact, with squared terminals and shallow inktrap-like notches in places where counters meet stems. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with strong verticals; lowercase echoes the same geometry, producing a sturdy, uniform rhythm. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, staying dense and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as sports identities, team numbers, event posters, bold packaging callouts, and punchy editorial headlines. It can also work for signage where a tough, faceted voice is desired, but its dense interiors favor larger sizes over small text.
The faceted, all-business construction conveys a bold, competitive tone reminiscent of athletic lettering and hard-edged signage. Its strong silhouettes read as confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, uniform-like flavor.
The letterforms appear designed to translate classic block sans proportions into a faceted, chamfered system that stays consistent across cases and numerals. The goal seems to be maximum impact and clear silhouettes, with a distinctive angular texture that reads quickly from a distance.
The design relies on repeated angled cuts and flat planes rather than true curves, creating a consistent ‘machined’ texture across letters and numbers. Tight internal counters and squared apertures add to the compact, punchy color, especially in all-caps settings.
