Sans Faceted Abmoy 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, 'Red Top' by Studio K, 'Kelpt' by Typesketchbook, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp, planar facets. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, with small apertures and angular joins that keep the rhythm dense and uniform. The uppercase and numerals read like cut metal or stamped signage, while the lowercase mirrors the same geometric logic with simplified, sturdy forms and a consistently tall internal structure.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, headlines, team or event branding, packaging labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for numbers in contexts like scoreboards, apparel graphics, and bold callouts where angular, stamped-looking forms are desirable.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, scoreboard-like energy and a hint of retro mechanical signage. Its sharp chamfers and compressed stance project strength, urgency, and a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact width, heavy silhouettes, and consistent chamfered geometry, evoking engineered durability. By translating curves into straight facets, it creates a distinctive industrial voice while staying firmly within a clean, sans framework.
The faceting is applied consistently across terminals, corners, and bowls, giving the set a cohesive “machined” texture. At smaller sizes the tight counters and compact spacing can visually fill in, so it favors bold, high-impact settings.
