Sans Faceted Abras 12 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Flintstock' by Hustle Supply Co, 'Neue Northwest' by Kaligra.co, 'Ramenson' by Larin Type Co, and 'Elysio' by Type Dynamic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Strokes keep a largely even thickness, while counters are tight and often polygonal, giving letters a dense, engineered texture. Terminals are clipped at consistent angles, producing a rhythmic pattern of notches and diagonal cuts across the alphabet. Numerals and capitals share a uniform, sign-like solidity, with slightly condensed proportions that pack tightly on the line.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, team or event branding, and bold packaging or labels. It also works well for signage-style compositions where strong silhouettes and angular styling help carry from a distance.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian—more fabricated than handwritten—suggesting machinery, uniforms, and hard-surface design. Its sharp facets and dense weight read as confident and emphatic, with a sporty, scoreboard energy when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact width while maintaining a coherent faceted construction. By systematically chamfering corners and minimizing curves, it creates a rugged, industrial voice that reads quickly and leaves a distinctive geometric imprint.
The faceting creates strong, repeatable edge motifs that stay prominent in both uppercase and lowercase, and the punctuation (dots/colon) is rendered as bold, round points that stand out against the angular letterforms. Inner shapes remain small at display sizes, so the face visually favors impact over openness.
