Sans Faceted Afru 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Privilege Sign JNL' by Jeff Levine and 'Angmar', 'Delonie', and 'Headpen' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: headlines, posters, sports branding, signage, packaging, industrial, athletic, authoritative, retro, space saving, high impact, stenciled feel, signage clarity, condensed, blocky, angular, faceted, octagonal corners.
A condensed, heavy sans with sharply cut corners and planar facets that replace most curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a compact, vertical texture and strong rectangular silhouettes. Counters are tight and often squared-off, and many joins terminate in clipped, octagonal corners that keep forms crisp at display sizes. Uppercase and lowercase share the same rigid, engineered geometry, with lowercase kept simple and sturdy rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold callouts where compressed width and solid color can deliver impact. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, labels, and wayfinding-style signage where a tough, engineered look is desirable.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike voice. Its chiseled shapes evoke industrial labeling and sports uniform numerals, giving it a competitive, high-impact feel with a hint of vintage signage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, using faceted, clipped-corner construction to keep forms rigid and legible while projecting a rugged, industrial character.
The narrow set and dense internal spacing create a strong rhythm in headlines, but can feel dark in long passages. Numerals and capitals read especially assertive, with the faceted corners helping maintain distinct shapes despite the compressed width.
