Sans Faceted Asbu 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kensmark' and 'Outlast' by BoxTube Labs, 'Flintstock' by Hustle Supply Co, 'EFCO Growers' by Ilham Herry, and 'Plau' by Plau (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from heavy, uniform strokes and squared-off geometry, with corners cut into crisp facets that replace most curves. Bowls and counters tend toward octagonal shapes, and terminals are clean, flat, and unapologetically blunt. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with minimal modulation and simple, utilitarian forms; punctuation-like details (such as i/j dots) appear as small, round points that contrast with the otherwise angular construction. Overall spacing and silhouettes prioritize solidity and impact, keeping interiors open enough for clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where its angular silhouettes can project strength and clarity. It works well for sports and esports identities, event graphics, product packaging, and technology-themed titles where a hard-edged, constructed voice is desirable. In longer paragraphs, the heavy color and tight, blocky shapes may feel dense, so it’s most effective in display settings.
The faceted construction and dense weight give the font a tough, engineered tone—part sports lettering, part sci‑fi interface. It reads as confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro arcade/scoreboard flavor due to the clipped corners and squared counters. The overall mood is bold and functional rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to translate a rugged, fabricated aesthetic into a compact display sans, using consistent stroke weight and repeated corner faceting to create a unified visual system. Its forms emphasize punchy presence and fast recognition, suggesting use in branding and graphic environments that benefit from a strong, geometric voice.
Diagonal strokes are used sparingly and appear as straight, planar cuts, reinforcing a machined look. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, producing cohesive, sign-like figures that feel designed for quick recognition.
