Sans Faceted Akbi 4 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'QB One' by BoxTube Labs, 'Midsole' by Grype, 'Futo Sans' by HB Font, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Sui Generis' by Typodermic, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, faceted sans with squared counters and clipped corners that turn curves into planar, octagonal shapes. Strokes are uniform and straight-sided, with abrupt joins and minimal rounding, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. Proportions read broad and stable, with compact apertures and tight interior space in letters like O, D, and B. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic, staying relatively upright and structured with simple terminals and short, squared extenders.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, badges, and logo wordmarks where its faceted geometry can read clearly. It also fits sports and esports identities, product packaging, and UI/display moments in games or tech interfaces. For long passages, it works more as an accent or for short labels due to its dense, angular forms.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, evoking utility signage, arcade and game UI, and contemporary tech branding. Its sharp corner cuts and dense black shapes create a punchy, no-nonsense voice that feels energetic and slightly militaristic without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a hard-edged, manufactured style by replacing curves with corner cuts and keeping stroke weight consistent. The goal is a cohesive, high-contrast-in-shape (not stroke) display texture that remains legible while projecting a modern, industrial character.
Diagonal strokes (A, K, V, W, X, Y) keep crisp, straight facets rather than smooth transitions, reinforcing the constructed feel. Numerals mirror the same clipped geometry, with notably angular bowls and squared counters that maintain strong consistency with the capitals.
