Sans Faceted Akny 2 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'QB One' by BoxTube Labs and 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters tend toward squared or octagonal forms, and terminals are cut at consistent angles, producing a hard-edged, engineered rhythm. The lowercase follows the same modular construction with simplified bowls and shoulders and a compact, sturdy footprint, while the numerals read similarly boxy and cut-cornered for strong set cohesion. Spacing appears fairly even and headline-oriented, with broad forms and large internal shapes that keep the texture open despite the dense weight.
Best suited for short to medium display settings where its cut-corner construction can read clearly and project impact—such as headlines, posters, esports or sports-style branding, game UI titles, labels, and bold packaging. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a geometric, engineered voice.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with a retro-digital edge that suggests machinery, sport numbering, and screen-era display graphics. Its faceted geometry feels assertive and utilitarian, conveying speed, impact, and a no-nonsense technical character.
The design appears intended to translate the language of octagonal signage, industrial labeling, and digital-era display lettering into a cohesive alphabet with consistent chamfers and squared counters. Its primary aim is high-impact visibility and a distinctive faceted silhouette rather than quiet text neutrality.
The consistent angle language across corners and joins gives the design a distinctly modular feel, helping mixed-case settings maintain a uniform texture. Diagonal-heavy letters (like K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the sharp facet motif and add a dynamic, forward-driving cadence in text.
