Sans Faceted Afgy 9 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Cygnito Mono Pro' by ATK Studio and 'Monorama' by Indian Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, producing an octagonal, faceted silhouette wherever curves would normally appear. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with squared terminals and consistent, modular construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Counters tend to be boxy and compact, and many joins are resolved with short diagonal chamfers that keep the rhythm crisp and mechanical. The overall spacing and character set feel tightly engineered, with clear, stable proportions suited to grid-based layouts.
Works best where a technical, grid-friendly texture is desired: UI labels, dashboards, wayfinding, equipment markings, and branding systems with an industrial tone. Its bold, faceted shapes also suit posters, packaging, and short headlines where the angular construction can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The face reads as technical and industrial, with a distinct retro-digital flavor reminiscent of instrument panels and early computer/arcade lettering. Its faceted geometry gives it a hard-edged, engineered attitude—precise, no-nonsense, and slightly futuristic. The consistent, blocky rhythm also lends a utilitarian clarity that feels systematic and programmable.
The design appears intended to translate a hard, faceted geometry into a practical, repeatable alphabet for systematic applications. By substituting curves with chamfered planes and keeping stroke behavior uniform, it aims to deliver a robust, machine-like voice that remains legible and consistent in structured layouts.
Diagonal chamfers create a consistent highlight-like effect at corners, which helps maintain visual continuity across rounded forms such as C, O, S, and 0. The lowercase keeps the same modular logic as the capitals, reinforcing a cohesive texture in running text, while the numerals remain strongly geometric and signage-forward.
