Sans Faceted Abbab 13 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bergk' by Designova, 'Corner Deli' by Fenotype, 'Treadstone' by Rook Supply, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Probeta' by deFharo (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy linear sans built from straight segments and hard chamfered corners, replacing curves with octagonal facets. Strokes are uniform and blunt, with squared terminals and consistent, engineered geometry across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Counters are tight and rectangular to polygonal, and the overall rhythm is dense, with minimal curvature and a distinctly angular silhouette that stays crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and bold packaging callouts where the angular facets can be appreciated. It also fits sports branding, equipment markings, and interface or display graphics that benefit from a rigid, machined texture, while long passages may feel visually dense due to the tight counters and compact spacing.
The faceted construction and tight, forceful forms give the type a tough, utilitarian tone—evoking industrial labeling, sports identifiers, and retro arcade or sci‑fi UI aesthetics. Its sharp corners and compressed shapes read as no-nonsense and energetic rather than friendly or decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-from-plate aesthetic into a robust display sans, delivering a strong presence through faceted “curve” substitutions and compact proportions. It emphasizes uniformity and punch, aiming for clear, iconic shapes with an industrial edge.
Lowercase largely mirrors the uppercase’s straight-edged logic, producing a cohesive, all-caps-like color in text settings. Numerals follow the same chamfered vocabulary, with strong, sign-like silhouettes that prioritize impact over open, airy readability.
