Sans Faceted Aski 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evolutics' by Ghozai Studio, 'Headlined Solid' by HyperFluro, 'MC Laozheng' by Maulana Creative, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact display sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters are tight and often rectangular, with squared-off terminals and a consistent, mechanical rhythm across the alphabet. The forms feel monoline and sturdy, with broad vertical stems, blunt joins, and clipped diagonals that create an octagonal silhouette in round letters like O and C. Spacing appears firm and dense, and the overall texture reads as a solid, uniform black at headline sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and punchy short copy where its dense weight and angular facets can work at larger sizes. It can support sports identities, industrial-themed packaging, and bold signage or wayfinding where an assertive, high-impact look is desired. For longer reading, it will be more effective as a display accent than as body text.
The tone is tough and utilitarian, projecting strength and urgency. Its angular construction and dense color evoke industrial labeling and athletic branding, lending a commanding, no-nonsense voice to short statements. The faceted geometry also adds a subtle retro-machine feel, making it suitable for bold, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, heavy forms and a faceted, machined geometry. By exchanging curves for chamfers and keeping counters tight, it emphasizes solidity and visual punch, aiming for strong presence in branding and titling contexts.
The faceting is applied consistently to corners and curves, giving the type a cohesive “cut metal” character. Uppercase and lowercase share the same hard-edged logic, which helps mixed-case settings retain a unified, blocky presence. Numerals match the same clipped geometry for cohesive titling and numbering.
