Sans Faceted Akby 12 is a bold, wide, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Barakat' by Denustudio, 'Lustra Text' and 'Midsole' by Grype, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, and 'Olney' by Philatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular display sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with consistent stroke weight and frequent chamfered cuts that replace curves. Counters tend to be squared-off or octagonal, giving round forms like O, C, and G a faceted silhouette. Proportions are broad and sturdy with compact apertures, and the overall rhythm feels geometric and engineered rather than calligraphic. Lowercase is simplified and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g and squared terminals that keep the texture uniform in setting.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the faceted construction can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, logos and wordmarks, sports and esports branding, and game or tech interface typography. It can work for subheads or labels when ample size and spacing preserve clarity.
The faceted geometry and blunt, machined edges suggest a sporty, techno-forward tone. It reads as assertive and utilitarian, evoking arcade interfaces, sci‑fi signage, and equipment labeling rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, faceted forms into a bold sans display voice, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a mechanical, cut-corner aesthetic over smooth curvature. Its consistent stroke and squared counters aim for a cohesive, high-contrast presence across letters and numerals.
At text sizes the small, angular openings and tight interior space can darken the page color, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive cut corners and stencil-like geometry. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, producing strong, badge-like figures with clear, hard-edged silhouettes.
