Sans Faceted Abbuk 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Outlast' by BoxTube Labs, 'Propane' by SparkyType, 'Robolt' by Typesketchbook, and 'Heavy Boxing' by Vozzy (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from heavy, uniform strokes with corners cut into crisp facets, producing octagonal silhouettes where curves would normally appear. Terminals are blunt and sharply angled, with consistent chamfers that create a machined, modular rhythm across the alphabet. Counters tend to be small and geometric, and joins are simplified into straight segments, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Overall spacing reads steady and workmanlike, with strong black mass and clear, high-contrast interior shapes for a faceted sans design.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product marks, and wayfinding-style signage where its blocky geometry can read at a glance. It can also work well for packaging labels and display typography in themed interfaces where an industrial or retro-digital mood is desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era graphics, and stamped or cut signage. Its angular construction feels mechanical and tough, projecting confidence and impact rather than softness or refinement.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or machine-cut aesthetic into a clean, geometric sans, replacing curves with planar facets to maximize solidity and visual punch. It prioritizes consistent construction and strong silhouettes for attention-grabbing display use.
The faceting is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. The figure set matches the same chamfered geometry, and the punctuation shown follows the same blunt, cut-corner logic, reinforcing a uniform, constructed voice.
