Sans Faceted Heme 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Heliuk' by Fateh.Lab, 'Hype Vol 1' by Positype, 'Headliner TC' by Tom Chalky, 'Ggx89' by Typodermic, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly packed sans with a compact footprint and strong vertical emphasis. Curves are replaced by crisp, planar facets that create chamfered corners and polygonal bowls, giving letters a carved, constructed feel. Strokes read largely monoline, with blunt terminals and squared shoulders that keep the texture dense and even. Counters are narrow and enclosed forms (like O, P, R) appear tall and slightly octagonal, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, and X stay sharp and disciplined for a rigid rhythm across lines.
Best suited to display applications where impact and vertical economy matter, such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style graphics, and bold brand marks. It can also work for packaging or labels that benefit from an industrial, constructed voice, especially in short phrases or all-caps settings.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a vintage-industrial edge that feels engineered rather than handwritten. Its faceted geometry suggests signage, stenciled metalwork, or Art Deco–leaning display typography, projecting confidence and a slightly severe, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed space while showcasing a distinctive faceted construction. By substituting smooth curves with angular planes and keeping stroke behavior consistent, it aims for a mechanical, architectural look optimized for attention-grabbing display typography.
The condensed proportions and tight internal spaces create a strong vertical cadence that holds together well in all-caps. At smaller sizes, the narrow counters and angular joins may become visually dense, while at display sizes the faceting becomes a defining stylistic feature.
