Sans Faceted Afse 2 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bricked' by Cristian Mielu; 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut; and 'Augment', 'Blanco', 'Graund', and 'Ravane' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, heavy sans with faceted construction: curves are replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, creating an octagonal silhouette throughout. Strokes are largely uniform with abrupt terminals and squared-off counters, giving the letters a rigid, modular feel. The rhythm is compact with narrow apertures and a strong vertical emphasis; diagonals and joins resolve into crisp planar cuts rather than smooth transitions. Numerals and capitals share the same geometric logic, producing an assertive, high-contrast texture through dense black shapes and sharp internal cutouts.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and short bursts of copy where impact and a technical flavor are desired. It also fits signage, labels, and game or interface graphics that benefit from rigid, faceted geometry.
The overall tone is utilitarian and machine-made, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi interface, and industrial stenciled labeling. Its sharp facets and compact proportions project toughness and urgency, reading as bold, engineered, and slightly aggressive.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, polygonal construction system into a condensed display sans, prioritizing sharp planar edges and a compact footprint for high-impact settings.
Letterforms maintain consistent chamfer angles, which helps create cohesion across the set. In longer text, the narrow apertures and dense texture suggest best performance at display sizes where the internal shapes remain clearly open.
