Sans Faceted Abbak 6 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Broadside' by Device, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, 'Refuel' by Typodermic, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and octagonal geometry. Counters and terminals are squarish and faceted, giving letters like O, C, S, and G a cut-metal feel rather than a round construction. The stroke thickness stays consistent, with tight apertures and compact internal spaces that create a dense, high-ink silhouette. Overall spacing and widths are somewhat irregular across glyphs, reinforcing a rugged, sign-like texture in words and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its faceted corners and dense silhouettes can be appreciated—posters, titles, sports-related branding, apparel marks, and bold packaging or signage. It works particularly well when you want compact, space-efficient headlines with a hard-edged, industrial punch.
The faceted forms and tight, high-impact color convey a tough, no-nonsense tone that reads as athletic, industrial, and slightly retro. It feels built for emphasis and authority, more like stenciled equipment labeling or varsity-inspired headlines than quiet editorial text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while creating a distinctive machined, faceted look. By substituting curves with chamfered planes, it aims to feel sturdy and technical, balancing readability with a strong display personality.
The angular treatment is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing strong word shapes with a rhythmic pattern of diagonals and squared shoulders. At smaller sizes the narrow counters may close up, while at larger sizes the planar cuts become a defining stylistic feature.
