Sans Faceted Abbik 8 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Mazot' by Hurufatfont, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, and 'Hype vol 2' by Positype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing most curves with clipped, faceted joins. Counters tend toward octagonal shapes, and terminals are consistently cut on diagonals, giving the outlines a machined, stencil-adjacent feel without actual breaks. The rhythm is compact and sturdy, with squared shoulders and firm horizontals; round letters like O and G read as multi-sided forms. Lowercase maintains the same faceting logic, with simple, blocky bowls and minimal modulation across the set.
Best suited to display applications where strong silhouettes and angular texture are an advantage—headlines, posters, sports identities, product packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges where a tough, mechanical tone is desired, but the compact counters may require generous size and spacing for comfort.
The overall tone is utilitarian and assertive, evoking equipment labeling, athletics, and engineered surfaces. Its sharp facets add a slightly futuristic, game-like edge while still feeling familiar and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to translate a rugged, engineered aesthetic into a clean sans structure by systematically chamfering corners and simplifying curves into planar facets. The consistent geometry suggests a focus on impact and recognizability rather than softness or typographic nuance.
Numerals and capitals share the same consistent corner-cut motif, producing strong silhouette recognition. The faceted construction creates crisp texture in headlines, while dense interior shapes can feel darker in smaller settings due to reduced open space.
