Sans Faceted Abmuj 1 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Monorama' by Indian Type Foundry, 'Sicret Mono' by Mans Greback, and 'Monbloc' by Rui Nogueira (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with faceted corners and clipped diagonals that substitute for curves, creating an octagonal, machined silhouette across the alphabet. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, while counters tend toward rectangular or polygonal shapes; rounded letters like O/C/G are rendered as angular forms. The rhythm is compact and sturdy, with tight interior spaces in letters such as a/e/s and clear, geometric joins in K/M/N/W. Figures follow the same faceted construction, yielding strong, sign-like numerals with simplified, planar cut-ins.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, sports branding, and product/packaging labels where the angular construction can be appreciated. It also works well for UI or display treatments that want a technical, engineered flavor, especially in titles, badges, and signage-style layouts.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking industrial labeling, athletic lettering, and sci‑fi interface aesthetics. Its sharp facets and dense black presence read as confident and impact-forward, with a rugged, engineered attitude rather than a soft or humanist one.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a classic block sans into a faceted, planar system: minimizing curvature, emphasizing strong silhouettes, and maintaining consistent chamfer angles for a unified industrial voice. The goal is immediate legibility with a distinctive, hard-edged texture that holds up in bold display applications.
The design leans on repeated chamfer angles for cohesion, so words take on a consistent ‘cut metal’ texture at larger sizes. At smaller sizes the small counters and notches can visually fill in, which increases darkness and amplifies the compact, forceful look.
