Sans Faceted Abrik 8 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Innova' by Durotype, 'Copihue' by Letritas, 'Alergia Grotesk' by Machalski, 'Accia Sans' by Mint Type, 'Core Sans N SC' and 'Core Sans NR' by S-Core, 'Mestre' by Tipotecture, and 'Roanne' by Tour De Force (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with pronounced chamfered corners that turn many curves into planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Counters tend toward octagonal/rectilinear shapes (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), and terminals are cut on sharp angles rather than rounded. Spacing and proportions feel compact and efficient, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain crisp and rigid, reinforcing a machined, constructed look.
Best suited to display applications where impact and quick recognition matter, such as posters, headlines, sports identity work, event graphics, signage, and bold packaging. It can also work for short labels and UI callouts when a rugged, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with an athletic, industrial energy reminiscent of equipment labels and bold signage. Its faceted geometry reads as engineered and no-nonsense, projecting strength and clarity over warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern display sans built from straight segments and chamfers, preserving the silhouette of familiar letterforms while replacing curves with faceted planes for a more mechanical, high-impact presence.
Lowercase forms maintain the same faceted logic as the capitals, with squared shoulders and angled joins that create a slightly stenciled, cut-metal impression in text. Numerals are especially emblematic, using clipped corners and sturdy interiors that emphasize legibility and punch at display sizes.
