Sans Faceted Dosa 2 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Imago W1G' by Berthold, 'Cynosure Soft' by Device, and 'Murs Gothic' by Kobuzan (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace most curves with straight planar cuts. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals and largely rectangular counters, producing an octagonal, stencil-like geometry in letters such as O/C/G and numerals like 0/8/9. The rhythm is compact and sturdy, with broad capitals, tight internal spaces, and strong verticals; diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) are steep and clean, and curves are implied through angled segments rather than true arcs. Lowercase forms follow the same angular construction, keeping a uniform, modular texture across text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, packaging, team or event graphics, and bold wayfinding. It also works well for logos or wordmarks that benefit from an angular, engineered feel, especially when set large where the faceted details remain crisp.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, evoking sports branding, workwear graphics, and bold utilitarian signage. Its sharp facets and dense color give it a tough, no-nonsense voice that reads as retro-industrial and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a rugged, geometric construction—substituting rounded anatomy with chamfered planes to create a distinctive, athletic-industrial silhouette while maintaining straightforward sans readability.
The faceting creates distinctive highlights at corners and joins, making large sizes especially punchy. In smaller sizes, the tight counters and dense weight can reduce openness, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity.
