Sans Faceted Abgut 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Whitney' by Hoefler & Co., 'Plantago' by Schriftlabor, 'Obvia Narrow' by Typefolio, and 'Ranelte' by insigne (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces curves with planar cuts. Strokes are uniformly thick with tight counters and clipped corners, producing a compact, high-impact silhouette. Uppercase forms read as sturdy and squared, while lowercase keeps the same angular language with simplified bowls and terminals. Overall spacing feels slightly tight and the rhythm is punchy, with strong verticals and distinctive, notched joins that emphasize the cut-paper/hand-hewn look.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, posters, logos, labels, and packaging where the faceted texture can be a feature. It also fits sport-themed graphics and bold wayfinding or signage, especially when set with generous leading to prevent dark, dense lines.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense energy with a sporty, industrial edge. Its chiseled facets add a retro display flavor, suggesting ruggedness and motion while remaining approachable and slightly playful due to the exaggerated cuts and chunky proportions.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a carved, faceted geometry that feels machined or cut from solid material. The consistent angular system across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive display typography rather than quiet, long-form reading.
Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with octagonal-style shapes and clipped diagonals that keep figures visually consistent with the letters. The angular detailing is prominent at text sizes, where the corners and notches become a defining texture across a line.
