Sans Faceted Abgut 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neuron Angled' by Corradine Fonts, 'Darwin Pro' and 'Darwin Rounded' by Los Andes, and 'Obvia Narrow' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built display face with chamfered corners and faceted joins that replace most curves with straight segments. Strokes are consistently thick and blunt-ended, producing dense, dark letterforms with a compact rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Counters are small and geometric, and many glyphs show clipped terminals and angled cuts that create a mechanical, engineered feel across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and capitals read especially solid and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same angular construction for a unified texture.
Best suited for short, bold applications such as headlines, poster titling, team or event branding, product marks, and packaging panels where strong silhouettes matter. It can also work for wayfinding-style labels or UI badges at larger sizes, but is less ideal for long text because the tight counters and dense color can build visual heaviness.
The overall tone is tough, utilitarian, and high-impact, evoking sports signage, industrial labeling, and uniform-like typography. Its sharp facets and dense weight give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice with a slightly retro, arcade-or-gearhead edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, faceted construction—capturing the feel of machined or cut forms while keeping a straightforward, modern structure. Its consistent chamfer language prioritizes bold recognition and a rugged, functional personality for display-driven typography.
The distinctive chamfers create clear silhouettes and a consistent ‘cut metal’ motif, but the tight interiors and dense mass suggest it will perform best when given adequate size and spacing. The design favors headline punch over delicate detail, with letterforms that stay legible through strong outer shapes rather than open counters.
