Sans Faceted Afbi 4 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kontesa' by FoxType, 'Dealers' by Gumpita Rahayu, 'Helvegen' by Ironbird Creative, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with straight-sided strokes and consistent thickness throughout. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered, polygonal corners, producing octagonal counters and clipped terminals on letters like C, G, O, and S. The caps feel tall and condensed with tight interior spaces, while the lowercase follows the same faceted construction, keeping bowls and joins crisp and mechanical. Numerals echo the same cut-corner geometry, giving the set a uniform, signage-like solidity.
Best suited to display typography where the faceted construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, team or event branding, badges, and packaging. It can also work for bold UI labels or wayfinding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is tough and engineered—more machinery and scoreboards than editorial refinement. Its clipped geometry reads as sporty and industrial, with a contemporary, techno edge that feels assertive and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to translate a blocky, cut-metal aesthetic into a readable sans, using repeated chamfers to create a consistent geometric system across caps, lowercase, and numerals. It aims for strong presence and clear structure rather than softness or calligraphic nuance.
The font maintains a consistent rhythm through repeated chamfers and flat cuts, which makes word shapes look sharply segmented. At smaller sizes, the tight apertures and compact proportions may increase density, while at display sizes the faceting becomes a defining character feature.
