Sans Faceted Anbi 12 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'FX Gerundal' by Differentialtype, 'Morgan' by Krafted, 'Neogliph' by Letterhend, and 'Bric Sans' by Nootype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-based sans with an octagonal construction: corners are consistently chamfered, turning curves into flat facets. Strokes are uniform and squared-off, with compact counters and sharply cut terminals that create a strong, poster-like silhouette. The capitals read wide and stable, while the lowercase stays sturdy and utilitarian, using the same faceted logic for bowls and shoulders. Numerals echo the same geometry, especially the 0/8/9 forms, producing a cohesive, sign-like rhythm across letters and figures.
Best suited to display applications where the faceted geometry can be appreciated: bold headlines, posters, badges, and logo wordmarks. It also fits sports and esports branding, industrial or tech-themed packaging, and short UI labels where a rugged, angular voice is desired.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, with a sporty, arcade-adjacent energy. Its faceted cuts evoke stamped metal, scoreboard lettering, and industrial labeling, giving text a confident, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to translate traditional block lettering into a planar, cut-corner system, prioritizing impact, uniformity, and a mechanically precise look. By replacing curves with consistent facets, it creates a distinctive industrial/arcade flavor while staying straightforward and legible in large sizes.
The repeated diagonal corner cuts create a distinctive texture in lines of text, and the tight interior spaces emphasize weight and solidity. The design relies on straight segments and consistent chamfers to maintain clarity at display sizes while keeping a distinctive, engineered feel.
