Sans Faceted Bubo 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'QSansPro' by Fontop, 'DIN Next Cyrillic' by Monotype, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built display sans with crisp chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal bowls in place of smooth curves. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, and joins are cut into planar angles that create a rugged, machined rhythm. Counters are compact and often squared-off, producing dense dark color and strong silhouette clarity, while terminals end bluntly with clipped edges. Uppercase forms feel wide and stable; lowercase is similarly constructed with simplified, geometric shapes and sturdy verticals, maintaining a cohesive, all-caps-like texture when set in text.
Best suited to large sizes where its faceted geometry and dense weight can project authority—team identities, event posters, bold editorial headlines, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a rugged, high-impact voice is desired, though extended paragraphs will feel heavy and attention-dominant.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking sports branding, stamped industrial lettering, and rugged signage. The faceted cuts add a hard-edged, tactical energy that reads as confident and slightly retro, leaning toward team, collegiate, and workwear aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate classic block-letter solidity into a sharper, faceted vocabulary—swapping curves for chamfers to create a tough, modernized stencil-like presence without actual cut breaks. It prioritizes immediate legibility and brand impact through strong silhouettes, compact counters, and consistent angular detailing.
The angular carving is especially evident in round letters (such as C, G, O, and Q) where corners replace arcs, and in diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) which keep a sharp, engineered feel. Numerals are equally chunky and emphatic, with the octagonal 0 and strong, poster-ready 8/9 contributing to a consistent, emblem-like system.
