Sans Faceted Abbek 12 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'EFCO Fairley' by Ephemera Fonts, 'Resolve Sans' by Fenotype, and 'Boxed' and 'Boxed Round' by Tipo Pèpel (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp planar cuts. Strokes are uniform and dense, with squared terminals and octagonal counters that create a consistent, faceted rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Proportions feel compact and vertical, with a tall lowercase body and tight apertures that emphasize solidity and impact in text. The overall texture is dark and even, favoring straight segments and geometric joins over round forms.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as headlines, posters, signage, and branding where the angular structure can read as intentional and strong. It also fits sports and team-oriented graphics, product packaging, and title treatments that benefit from a compact, rugged voice.
The faceted geometry lends a tough, utilitarian tone that reads as industrial and sport-coded, with hints of stenciled hardware and arcade-era display lettering. Its sharp corners and compact shapes project authority and urgency, making it feel assertive and energetic rather than conversational.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, octagonal construction into a versatile display alphabet, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a uniform, faceted system over softness or calligraphic nuance. Its consistent chamfers and dense texture suggest a goal of immediate recognition and visual toughness in prominent applications.
Diagonal cuts appear systematically at outer corners and some inner corners, producing a coherent octagonal motif in letters like O, C, D, and numerals. The lowercase maintains the same angular logic as the uppercase, which helps the font stay stylistically consistent in mixed-case settings. The dense construction suggests it will visually “hold together” at larger sizes, while small sizes may require generous spacing to avoid crowding in the tight counters.
