Sans Faceted Abdib 7 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Mono Spec' by Halbfett, 'Monorama' by Indian Type Foundry, and 'Realtime' and 'Realtime Rounded' by Juri Zaech (names referenced only for comparison).

A faceted, angular sans with heavy, monoline strokes and consistent cell-like widths that create a tight, rhythmic texture. Curves are replaced by planar chamfers, giving rounds (like O, C, and S) an octagonal construction and making diagonals read as clipped corners rather than smooth arcs. Terminals are squared and abrupt, counters are compact, and joins are crisp, producing strong silhouettes and high contrast between letterforms and background. The lowercase echoes the same geometry with simplified bowls and short ascenders/descenders, and figures follow the same cut-corner logic for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted silhouettes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, and branding marks—along with practical labeling and wayfinding that benefits from a rigid, engineered look. It can also work well for game/arcade-themed graphics and UI accents where a blocky, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone feels engineered and no-nonsense, with a distinctly retro-digital flavor reminiscent of arcade, equipment labeling, and early computer display aesthetics. Its sharp facets and uniform rhythm communicate toughness, precision, and a slightly aggressive energy that reads as technical rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to translate a mechanical, chamfered construction into a clean sans system, prioritizing uniformity and strong recognition at a glance. By replacing curves with facets and keeping strokes consistent, it aims for a rugged, modular presence that feels both technical and retro-digital.
The octagonal construction is especially apparent in round and semi-round forms, and the compact apertures keep word shapes dense and punchy. In longer text, the consistent spacing and sturdy forms emphasize a gridlike cadence, making the design feel structured and modular.
