Sans Faceted Akmo 4 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Expedition' by Aerotype, 'Morgan' by Krafted, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Monbloc' by Rui Nogueira (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with octagonal silhouettes and consistent chamfered corners that substitute for curves. Strokes remain even throughout, with squared terminals, tight interior counters, and a generally compact fit that creates a dense, punchy texture in text. Shapes favor straight segments and right angles; diagonals appear as short facets rather than long slants, producing a crisp, planar rhythm. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s geometric logic, keeping the alphabet visually unified and strongly modular.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where the angular detailing and tight counters can be appreciated—such as posters, branding marks, product packaging, and impactful headings. It also fits environments that benefit from a rugged, technical voice, including sports graphics, esports/arcade themes, and industrial or sci‑fi interfaces.
The overall tone feels industrial and game-adjacent, with a hard-edged, machined confidence. Its faceted geometry reads as technical and engineered, giving headings a bold, no-nonsense presence with a slight retro arcade flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, modular geometry—replacing curves with clean facets to create a sturdy, engineered look. Its consistent chamfers and uniform stroke treatment suggest a focus on reproducible, system-like forms that stay bold and recognizable across a range of characters.
Legibility relies on distinctive interior cut-ins and notches rather than round bowls, so counters can feel tight at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same chamfered construction, reinforcing a consistent, system-like aesthetic across letters and figures.
