Sans Faceted Abras 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, and 'Octin College' and 'Refuel' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps–friendly sans with chamfered corners and faceted, planar shaping that replaces most curves with clipped angles. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, producing sturdy rectangular counters and octagonal outer forms (notably in C/G/O/Q/0). Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with a tall lowercase x-height and simple, geometric construction; diagonals in A/V/W/X/Y are wide and stable, while joins stay clean and mechanically straight. Numerals echo the same cut-corner logic, giving a uniform, systematized rhythm across letters and digits.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as sports branding, jersey-style identifiers, poster headlines, esports or arcade-themed graphics, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for labels and wayfinding-style display lines where a tough, engineered look is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, evoking sports uniforms, industrial signage, and classic arcade or action-era display typography. Its sharp facets and dense color create a forceful, no-nonsense voice that reads as competitive, rugged, and slightly retro-tech.
Designed to deliver a bold, geometric presence with a distinctive cut-corner silhouette, prioritizing visual punch and a uniform, constructed system over softness or calligraphic nuance. The consistent chamfered geometry suggests an intention toward emblematic display use where sturdiness and edge-defined shapes carry the identity.
The faceting is applied consistently across the alphabet, which helps large settings feel cohesive and emblem-like. In smaller sizes, the tight internal shapes and heavy weight can reduce counter clarity, so it benefits from generous tracking and strong contrast with the background.
