Sans Faceted Akmo 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kickoff' by Din Studio and 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with crisp planar facets that substitute for curves. Corners are consistently chamfered, producing octagonal counters and terminals, while strokes remain uniform and squared-off for a sturdy, modular silhouette. Proportions are compact with a stable baseline and evenly weighted horizontals and verticals; diagonals appear in K, M, N, V, W, X, Y, and Z as straight, clipped segments rather than smooth joins. Counters are tight and geometric (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), contributing to a dense, sign-like texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where its dense, faceted shapes can read as a deliberate stylistic choice—headlines, logos, posters, apparel, packaging, and UI elements for games or tech-themed interfaces. It also works well for short labels and signage-style callouts where a tough, engineered feel is desired.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a distinctly retro-digital/arcade edge. Its machined facets and blunt geometry read as tough and functional, suggesting equipment labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, or competitive gaming aesthetics rather than soft, editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, machined look into a highly legible sans by standardizing chamfered corners and maintaining uniform stroke weight. By replacing curves with flat facets, it aims for a consistent, stencil-like solidity that stays recognizable across letters and numbers.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular construction, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive and intentional. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, with squarish bowls and clipped corners that keep figures visually consistent with the caps.
