Sans Faceted Abdes 13 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Future Bugler Upright' by Breauhare, 'FX Gerundal' by Differentialtype, 'Aspire Narrow' by Grype, 'Neogliph' by Letterhend, 'Environ' by MADType, and 'Reddo' by VladB (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with sharp chamfered corners and faceted “curve” substitutions that read as octagonal geometry. Strokes are uniform and squared-off, with a strong rectangular rhythm and compact counters that keep the texture dense. Terminals are blunt and planar, and many bowls and diagonals are simplified into straight segments, giving letters a machined, sign-cut appearance. Numerals and capitals look particularly structural, while the lowercase maintains the same hard-edged logic for a cohesive set.
Well suited to headlines, bold logotypes, labels, and display copy where its faceted construction can be appreciated. It works effectively for tech-leaning or industrial branding, sports and team-style graphics, posters, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, cut-metal feel.
The overall tone feels engineered and utilitarian—confident, tough, and a bit arcade-industrial. Its angular facets add a retro-futurist flavor, suggesting hardware, machinery, or competitive sports graphics rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, chamfered forms into a clear alphabet with strong impact—prioritizing a consistent faceted language over smooth curves. It aims for immediate visibility and a distinctive, fabricated look that evokes cut vinyl, stenciled signage, or arcade-era display lettering.
Because the internal spaces are tight and the joins are crisp, the face reads best when given some breathing room; at smaller sizes the dense counters and faceting can visually fill in. The distinctive octagonal rounding makes it highly recognizable, especially in all-caps settings.
